A long-awaited Friday Finish

Sometimes it takes a year to get around to something

and 10 minutes to actually do it.

This baby quilt has been finished for months,

except for pulling in a few threads,

which is a job I avoid.

With the impending birth of a friend's baby,

it was time to actually finish it.

I made this quilt from width of fabric strips

left over from other projects, mostly in blues.

Here's a view of the quilting from the back.

I decided to quilt in a label,

and made it by fusing some batting to a white square,

writing the details in pencil

and then quilting it with 28 wt thread.

I had lots of binding left,

so I bound it and sewed the whole thing on the back of the quilt.

The baby isn't coming until March,

so I couldn't include the baby name.

I avoided other tasks yesterday and made 12 more Winding Ways block.

I'm planning on cutting a few more, and getting this a bit bigger.

The blocks finish at 8 inches, and my plan is to get it to throw size.
