Despite all the craziness of the week before Christmas, I managed to finish a quilt! I'm pretty excited about that!
The finished quilt measures 45" x 60". (The blocks are cut 3 1/2" x 9 1/2", so they finish at 3" x 9". )
The best part of this finish was probably the fact that I took a walk through a nearby park for a photo shoot of the quilt. It was an absolutely beautiful winter day....
....and the scenery was just gorgeous!
Now, it's your turn! If you have any finishes that you can share, please link up! Thank you, as always, for joining me for finish it up Friday! I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! :)

This is just beautiful. I have a stack of these very colors set aside for something spectacular, and this may just be the perfect project for them as well.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful finish! Love your photos, you found such a pretty setting.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your family a Merry Christmas!
Love it! Thanks for the inspiration, today and throughout the year.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt!(especially the ABC fabric!) And the beautiful scenery!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - and what a great stash buster! Love the colors you put together and the quilting you did on it!
ReplyDeleteLove your scrappy quilt!
ReplyDeleteGreat finish with the corals, pinks and greys. Did you have this top done and backed it, quoted it and bound it? How do you get so darn much done? I can't even fathom being as productive as you. 😊 Merry Christmas Amanda!!
ReplyDeleteSorry I don't have a blog or link bc I don't do that but I did Friday finish some scrappy Christmas coasters and hot pads. :) I'd post a pix here if I could!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Eve everyone!
Love it. Question...When you quilt in a line like that, do you go from one side to the other or do you start in the middle and work your way out? So far on my fmq I just do a meander on the quilt. Looking to broaden my patterns. :)pam
ReplyDeleteYou live in such a beautiful part of the world! I love this quilt (I really like the symmetry on the front and the asymmetry on the back); thanks for the measurements! xxx
ReplyDeleteThe fabrics you chose for this quilt are great together! I love how the simplicity of the pattern allows the fabrics to show off. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI really like how this came out on the front as well as the back.
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt. The colors are well laid out. I am most partial to scrap quilts. There is just something cozy and inviting about them. I can't believe you were willing to hang it over the water like that. LOL I would have been afraid that it would have fallen in. Maybe you had someone behind the scene holding onto it tightly?
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas

ReplyDeleteLove the loopy quilting, is it all free hand? Or did you mark it beforehand? Lovely quilt! Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteHey Amanda! This may be a simple quilt but the fabrics you used are what makes it brilliant and beautiful!!! I love this!! The quilting is the icing on the cake! Well done!! Have a wonderful Christmas and thank you for all the posts you share for us!! xox
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda, I love this quilt. It just looks like you could wrap up in it and be all cozy. I love your blog. Thank you. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas.

ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful! I love it's simplicity! I am curious about the quilting- do you have a long-arm, or did you quilt this on your conventional machine? It is great! Thanks~
