I had planned to finish it early September but things happened and it languished... (So much nicer than saying I procrastinated too long LOL ) The back is a solid gold cotton, nothing special, but I quilted it using variegated thread. Charlie Brown is one of my favorite cartoon characters. The rest of the fabric, including the backing, was from my stash.

Fun table runner

Awesome finishes everyone! Sadly I am not adding anything to the count but wanted to cheer you all on. I'm working on a fun, and complicated (for me) 4PP for a special lady. Happily it is NOT a comfort quilt, but will just be a gift of love. She is having some personal struggles and I wanted to do something special for her.
By the way, I'm pretty sure most fabric moratoriums make exceptions for backing fabrics. ;) Speaking of backings, I use fleece for mine, and recently a certain fabric store had their anti-pill fleece on sale for 70% off. This same store marks their remnants 50% off. By carefully selecting short bolts, and judicious purchasing, I bought backing for 12 quilts. I spent $62, but the best part is where it shows the savings on my receipt. I saved a total of $242.34!! Call me a happy quilter! |

The finishes just keep showing up and so fun to see. All2pieces (#259), your table runner is great and will be all ready for next autumn; Wildyard, (post 264)what a great deal on fleece backing you got. I, too am liking fleece more and more for backings to my quilts. Carolinepaj (#265), I love your children's wall hanging and like what you did on the back, too.

Great finishes. I am diligently working on the king size irish chain that I started some two + years ago that's sat and sat. I think I need about 6 more blocks I decided to make it larger and I can sew the rows together. So hard going back to something that really showed my less then stellar skills as I very much in the learning stage both sewing and quilting lol

All2Pieces, nice job on getting that topper finished. Love the Peanuts fabric.

Caroline, sweet quilts, and a great start to your UFO finishes.
