A Finish

Not often I get a finish on the first day of the month!

This was a Moda Project using Spring Fling. I had the kit in my cupboard for about 2 years. Finally decided this year that it would be at the top of my "get some things completed" list. I'd been told it was a quick and easy project. And it was until I realised the ruler I was using for the outer sashing was 12 inches and not 12 1/2!

So with some new fabric that blended quite well, I recommenced.

Finally yesterday the basting was done, quilted - just a simple in the ditch - binding done. Even the label.

This is going to be a year of finishing!
