My TGIFF project is one I am truly thankful for having completed! I cut the pieces for this last July and was just a total slow poke at getting it pieced. I finally got the top assembled in February and splurged on getting it quilted by a pro. What a treat! It just feels so strange to have something I sewed so perfectly quilted... But I can get used to it:)
So without further ado - here is my completed Cherry Blossom quilt! And yes - these photos are taken today. On snow. I said I lived in the cold north, right?
Size: Approx. 60"x60"
Pattern: Cherry Blossom from the book "With Fabric and Thread" by Joanna Figueroa
Fabric: California Girl from Moda with Kona Snow background and Kona Salmon binding
Quilted by: Merete Ellingsen of www.sy.no
And just to add to the Friday fun, I'm giving away a charm pack of Reunion by Sweetwater to one of you who link up (no matter where you live). I think this fabric is awesome, but I just can't find a project for it - so I hope one of you can give it some sewing love!
Now - let's get this party started! Link up your finished beauties and then visit with the other party guests (don't be a party pooper). Please include a link back to this post and/or include the TGIFF button (found here) in your blog post so your visitors can come join the party.
I'll have to see if I can pull of a finish tonight so I have something to show :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a stunning finish and looks beautiful against the snow :)
ReplyDeleteWow, splurging on the quilting really paid off! It's gorgeous. Don't have a proper finish to link up, only a quilt top. Enjoy the party!
ReplyDeleteI've linked up for a finish and that fabric looks like it'd be great for a little Blanket of Love (or two)!
ReplyDeleteFab finish, and I wish i was making things at the moment as I would love to join in! :o(
