a sweet little finish



I've had a top for this baby quilt finished many, many moons ago but somehow, instead of getting finished and passed on to some sweet little creature to enjoy, it ended up in my UFO pile.


Until yesterday, that is. I raided my stash and discovered a wonderfully soft berry fabric for the backing, did some simple straight line quilting along the patchwork seams, bound, washed, and dried it, and a few hours later I had this lovely quilt ready to be gifted.


Not bad, right? Plus, it feels wonderful to have one less UFO project hanging around.

Thanks for reading. Svetlana

    I love it when I come across an old UFO and am able to see it with new eyes! It's really sweet and I'm sure will make a cherished little one very cozy!

    It's always nice to cross a WIP off the list, especially if it's been hanging around for a while!
