A Recent Project Finished!

 So, I've always got some projects in the works. 

And every now and then, I actually FINISH a project!

Here's one of the latest:

ProsperityStuff Quilts - Very Red, Very Pink Quilt

My youngest daughter selected the fabrics and worked with me on the layout.

I started piecing this a couple of years ago, and got the quilt top and border finished. I even started quilting it a long time ago.

This past week, I finally finished the quilting and the binding.

The quilt is a fun mix of lots of the red and pink fabrics in my stash.

One of the great things about this quilt is that the back is like a whole 'nother quilt! The quilt back is a nice, calm combination of soft greens and dark greens.

When I can, I like to use fabrics from my stash for quilt backs, even if that means lots of piecing on the quilt backs. And when I can, I like to make the back of a quilt more interesting than just one single piece of fabric. That way, the quilt can have two whole moods, or two quilts in one!

So, this is my daughter's quilt: very red, very pink, very green!
