    Default Quilt top I did NOT make but finished

    Hi,

    Let me start this by saying I did not create this quilt top...except for adding borders. I bought it at a yardsale several years ago from someone that was cleaning out a family members things that had passed on. I just felt that the lady did a nice job and it's pretty so I'd share it with you all. Anyway, it sat in my UFO cabinet until recently when I decided to work on said UFO's (seems to be a January thing for me). I added the borders from the fabric that came with it and actually had the backing fabric in my own stash! I did a simple meander w/star's on it to bring the back and front together so to speak and used the teal to bind it. This will be gifted to my nephew's fiancee's son this coming Christmas...he's 4 and I can't wait to meet him!

    I'd say that was a very nice, colorful save.

    I like it. It reminds me of turtles for some reason.

    Very interesting pattern and I am sure the maker was planning on some result on this quilt. You always wonder what the maker's thoughts were and who it was for. Glad you got to finish it and it will be gifted.

    That's a real eye-opener! Those colors are fantastic.
