The last FAL for this quarter

Wow I actually have finished all 7 of my FAL goals for this quarter!!  And with time to spare:-)  This quilt is made up of leftovers from this X Block quilt I finished up last year. It always feels great to use up leftover parts and make them into a usable quilt instead of throwing them in the trash.  This one will also be a donation quilt.  The true color of the sashing was hard to capture, it is a pretty light lime green. So I used a bright lime fleece for the backing. The stitches just sink in and show so much texture on the back. I also used a lime green Glide thread in this all over freehand quilt design. This is a crib size quilt.

I'm really glad I signed up all 7 of these projects so I could get them done and out of my closet. They were all projects I could have easily pushed to the side for another year.  Now I have room for new ones, LOL


You are lucky you are seeing a brown deck-I took these pictures last week. This morning we have an all white world again!  It started snowing last evening, we have a couple inches on the ground is all. The trees are so heavy and white this morning, looks like Christmas all over again!

I'll be linking with The 2016 Finish A Long when it goes live for linkups at the end of the March.
Sunday March 20th I will be joining in with Oh Scrap!

    I was thinking the same thing as Cynthia! How great that you can make something so pretty out of the leftovers from another quilt! We had snow here, too - about 5 inches. That always seems to happen when I am ready for Spring weather!

    Hooray for leftovers and hooray that you got all 7 goals done!! Did you just do the fleece and no batting again like you did once before I think?
