one more finish


I've made a real effort lately trying to finish a few things
{and then I figure I can start a new some thing!}




... and now auntbetsquilt my moderne utility quilt, is finished too
I really enjoyed making this little quilt, and am tempted to make another in different colours!




It's a simple scrappy design,
with large pieces perfect for your special fabrics to shine
and with the 1/4 log cabin and flying geese blocks to add some 'quilty' interest

Linking up with Kelly for 'needle and thread thursday' here at myquiltinfatuation.
with Myra  over here at busyhandsquilts this week
and with Ann & Kaja for the monthly 'Ad Hoc Improv Quilter' here

    Good on you for getting things finished!! This quilt is so pretty, I love the way the simplicity lets the fabrics do the talking and then mixed pieced rows add a wonderful variety of shapes.

    The red binding makes it shine and adds a bit of retro glamour. Congratulations on this beautiful finish.

    I still really love this quilt--so scrappy and light feeling, but with lovely 'pops' of red. The stitching is perfect for it!
