Ready for quilting - someday

I am trying to finish off some of the projects that I started and then lost interest in. Most of them are wall hangings. The photo below was taken on Saturday. It was a cold, blustery day.

Here's one top that just needed the four corner tulips and leaves appliqued and then the borders added. It has now made its way from a plastic bin to a pile of quilt tops that need to be quilted. This started as a Spring Mystery Mailout that was sponsored by The Quilt Patch of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. It has been unfinished for a few years now and they really are not my colours. I did mark quilting lines in the white part so when I find the time, it will be ready to go. Even though I have a quilt hoop, I thought of doing this one on a frame. I do have some small quilt boards in the basement but I'm not sure if they are big enough - I have to drag them out. I may gift it to a daughter once it gets finished. I am currently working towards completing a Seminole Sampler quilt top and when the borders are on, I will take a pic and show you.

  1. I love this quilt! The tulips on it are so pretty. You should definitely finish it soon. And ... I knew someone had a yummy banana cake recipe. I finally found it again. (O:
    Have a lovely week!

  5. The lucky daughter who gets this quilt! It is difficult to get those projects finished once we've put them away. This one will be gorgeous as it is already a beautiful quilt.

  7. It is sad when we shelve something that is so close to being finished (I'm guilty too). Someone will enjoy this quilt once it is all done. Beautiful job.
