4th finish for 2021, 2nd UFO done out of 15
It took me all day to finish this UFO. I'm tired! I didn't not think it would have taken me all day. I'm glad it is finally done. It measures 75" x 85". It was already bound. The black and yellow fabric is commercial, but I hand dyed the greens and blues and the backing. I don't know exactly when I started this quilt, but my best guess is sometime in 2013 or 2014. My top thread was Sulky Rayon and the bottom thread was various cotton threads.
It looks good on the bed either way on the bed. It won't stay on the bed; in fact, I don't know what I will do with it. It will probably go on the pile of quilts I have until a need arises.
Here is a look at the backing. You can see I did a facing binding.
I had made a piece in 2015 out of the scraps left from this quilt which ended up in Rayna Gillman's book Create Your Own Improv Quilts..

I like your new finish and the straight line quilting. That was a plus having the edge already finished.
That is a beautiful stunning quilt. Congratulations on being published!
Oh gosh,I love this! I'd leave it on the bed to brighten up the gray days of winter.
I love this - it's simple but striking and makes an excellent bed quilt. I also love the book quilt - quite different of course, but shows what a great colour combination this is.
This is so beautiful. Your hand-dyes make it rich and deep but the bits of yellow you added make it spectacular. Why not keep it on your bed? Congratulations!
It looks amazing and the original published one is fabulous as well! It’s so big....you must have had a lot of scraps ;-)
