March UFO is Finished


I have my UFO for March finished with a few days to spare.


It was a Block of the Month from The Quilt Show for 2008.
"Bouquets for a New Day" by Sue Garman


I think I finished the top in 2009 or early 2010.


There are 12 blocks, but after I had 11 done I decided I only wanted to put 9 in the quilt. I thought the size and being square would be more versatile.


All I had to do to get it finished was to quilt and bind it.


I bound it last night and today washed it and took it outside for a photo shoot.



I love the colors in it, but to be honest, if I was starting it today I would probably use a brighter whiter background.


I am doing the UFO Challenge with Judy at Patchwork Times
I can't wait to see what number is drawn for April.

  1. Oh, yes!! I knew it would be gorgeous!! I didn't even recognize the pattern! I've had it for a while - a bom using more red/green fabrics. Yours is stunning!! LOVE, love the colors - and the quilting is beautiful. The feather border frames up the piece nicely! Great job!
