Feel good finish


 

I finished our quilt group "Bound Together" 's Mystery SAL this beautiful afternoon.  (Just the top)

I struggled with the pattern and was about to give up so many times but I'm glad I stuck with it.



I don't normally do the "victory lap" of machine basting on the outside of the quilt top but this one has so many bias edges that it needed to be done.

It's spread out upon tall grass so it doesn't look very smooth in this picture.  It measures about 60" square.



I was unable to get a really good picture on this old trellis but I wanted to include the absolutely beautiful autumn sky.  It really is that bright blue color!!!  Amazing!

Enjoy you day!

This is a lovely piece--I can see why you "struggled" it looks challenging--but your flimsy came out beautifully, Robin...;)))
Hope you are enjoying this lovely Autumn season...hugs, Julierose
