A UFO is Finished!

Hi everyone!  Last year my mom told me she wanted to make a quilt!  Yeah!!!  Now my mother is an organizer, a very good cook, a home decorator, a business woman, a wife, mother, grandmother and a great grandmother.  But has never been a quilter.  Well, this grand Lady has now made two quilts.  go Mom!!!  

We talked a lot about color and what she wanted.  hmmmmm, Kansas troubles fabric came to mind.  I thought I would have enough fabric for the top.  We did have to buy a few fabrics to supplement what i had.  We also had to buy the batting and backing.  everything else from the stash.  

I found the pattern - I think in a McCall's magazine.  it is a modified wedding ring.  It ended up being 82"sq.  so about 11 1/8 yards used.  pretty good.  

My Dad and I cut the fabric.  Mom sewed.  I did very little sewing there.  she also sewed the rows together.  My friend Joann quilted it for us.  This past weekend I did the binding.  her 2nd quilt is at the quilter now.  She has done a great job on both!  

I am claiming this as an UFO finish.  because done is done!  it's out of my house and stashed used.  

 
Isn't it pretty?  I love it!

  1. Oh, I like this quilt too. I just acquired some white eyelet scraps from my mom that might be perfect for the centers. I guess I have another quilt to add to my wish list.
