Leftovers!

Several years ago I made a floral quilt - a curved log cabin which I dubbed “Rachael’s Garden” but I made too many blocks! I think what happened is that I added sashing strips which made the quilt big enough so that I didn’t need all the blocks I had made - as I changed my original plans!

I kept all the blocks together but didn’t do anything with them for some time.

Last year, once my blues project was about done, I decided that I really wanted to try to work down my “old unfinished” tops that I’ve had sitting around PLUS a few finished up blocks but that hadn’t been put together. It’s kind of been eating at me a little to have so many things unfinished.

So, I have, actually.

I now have a lot fewer unfinished tops here (not counting charity tops) than I’ve probably had for years and years.

So, last year I put the top together, and then I brought the top to the main floor of the house as that is one step closer to getting something quilted since I sandwich on the dining room table. Once I “bring it downstairs”, it is the sign to myself that it’s time to “think about a backing” and begin to think about finishing this thing up!

Anyway, I finished it up. The original pattern is “Rachael’s Garden” and is here. This little one finishes at 53.5” x 53.5”.

I may use it in our living room. It would work perfectly with the colors of my couch which are brown/green.

Other than that - there’s not too much to say about this particular little beauty!

I quilted it with swirls and curls.

It’s little so once again, it blows around in the breeze quilt easily, but it’s still very pretty!

And the quilt roll:

And now, I really need to get back to one of my other projects right now.

A doctor who visited the hospital where I donated masks last week saw them and really wants some for her children’s hospital in Warsaw. I know that not many people here in the area have such fun fabrics as I do…so I am feeling the need to get them made - and ASAP.

So, I’m off the computer, back to my machine. Am feeling the pressure!

Have a great day wherever you are reading this! Stay safe!
