Yes…I did finish it in time. It’s everything I had hoped it would be.

I quilted this with randomly spaced straight lines using the walking foot.

Later on in the day it looked a bit different. This one is later on in the day when it was cloudy and overcast.

The sun was nice and bright on this day—at least when I took most of the pictures!

I’ve been trying to do a lot of piecing on these backings - well, as needed. I had these two pieces of duvet covers, but neither one was large enough for the backing by itself.

With this side shot you can see the various lines of quilting. I tried to make them as random as possible.

Here’s a good picture of how the block looks after it has been quilted. Here you can also see how the blue section of the block “floats” - this eliminates frustration for the average quilter. No need to cut off points!

This bright, sunny day was simply delightful!

The trees that I have in the yard are starting to become an issue when I do have a sunny day. Shade. I’ll need to get up earlier to get morning pictures. But the quilt is as beautiful in person as it appears here in the trees.

The challenge is real with the shade, but I have to admit I love the shadows of the trees that I have behind the quilt hanging on the line.

And there you have it!
