Yes, a finish but a small one!!
I began with ideas of a decent size quilt, using just a simple
pattern
but I had issues working with a subdued palette.
You can read a little more about it on my blog, just check the
labels for Hannah's Garden.
What began as these blocks below on the wall gradually shrank because
I find it difficult to work with a subdued palette.
So, instead of a quilt I now have an 18" square cushion!
I pulled the brightest blocks, quilted very simply but added
two small lace flowers to the centre block.
The lace came from a box of treasures given to me by my mother-in-law who in turn was
gifted the box from her grandmother.
You get a better view of the lace flowers below.
Kaja has just announced another challenge so I very pleased
that just squeezed in with a finish on the
previous challenge!

I have lots of pillows precisely because I start something and can't push myself through it. More and more I've been putting the "whoops" blocks aside to chop into an improv piece....or several improv pieces. :)
Adding the lace was a stroke of genius! Pretty pillow!
lovely xo
This is so pretty, Maureen, and the lace works beautifully with the old-fashioned feel of the fabrics.
Thank you all for your comments, I'm pleased with my decision to go small!
A beautiful and useful finish. Great job!
