Tuesday Quilt Project March 29

Hurrah, I have a long term UFO done!

This is my wallhanging in the Nosegay or Bride's bouquet pattern.  I described the start of the project in this post form 2010.  Goodness it has taken me some time to get back to this and finish the handquilting!

The photo cuts off the side borders - same green fabric all the way around.  I used the same fabric (thank goodness I saved it) for the binding.  Vintage fabric and real feedsack is used for the print fabric pieces; unbleached muslin and new solid fabric for the other pieces; and an older reproduction fabric for the border.

This image shows a closeup of the fabric and my handquilting.  So glad this is done.

I am linking up with Connie at Freemotion by the River and Quilt Story as I do most weeks I have blocks to share. Both blog hops have pictures of pretty quilt blocks and other projects.

Tuesday Quilt Project March 1

And my current project is done, finally.
I am not entirely happy with it, as some points are cut off, corners don't match, the machine quilting in the ditch is not my best, and there are two small pleats in the back, where the backing folded over a little as I was quilting, and I didn't notice.  But well it is done and these things cannot be seen from the back of a galloping horse so I guess I will accept it.  But I am too embarrassed to give this away - I will keep it for a throw around our house.
