Two Quilt Top Finishes



The quilt top for my deceased friend is finished.  I took it to the Tuesday gathering to let everyone see it and to get a picture.  The pattern is "Windsong" by Wing and a Prayer Design.  The colors are much prettier than what the photo shows.  It is 108 inches square and my home design wall is too crowded and too small to pin it there.  An order arrived last week with the remaining fabric needed for the backing and I will either cut it here or, perhaps tomorrow, at the place where the Tuesday group meets.

 



I finished appliqueing the border to my tumbler quilt top this weekend.  I’ll try to get a full picture of it for next week’s post.

 


I may be chasing another squirrel in the near future.  We’ll see if I give in.


 

One measley little 16-patch made it to the design wall.

In other news, we had an entirely unexpected freeze this morning!  Apparently, the alert to protect plants was issued in the wee hours of the morning.  Fortunately, my baby plants appear to have survived and we will be on a warming trend this week.

Oh my gosh that quilt is beautiful! The name of the pattern is even pretty. I'm sure the family loved it.
Wow on your frost! We had freeze warnings, but it was 36 when we got up, so we were spared. Surely this is the last of winter!

108" square is a huge top. Congrats for finishing it for your friend's family.
I'm looking forward to seeing the red tumblers top.
They said snow flurries here but we started out at 38 this morning and it warmed up a couple degrees and then the wind picked up and it dropped a few. It's supposed to into the high 20s overnight tonight.

I wouldn't have thought you would have had the freeze warning in-your area! we had one but didn't get that cold. Love the quilt you finished for your late friend and the tumbler always
