9 patch finished!!

Had sort of a 'snow day' today, so took advantage of all the free time and finished putting the binding on by machine. It really came out pretty. And it's nice to have a new bed cover for 'free' ;-) !

A couple more gratuitous shots, 'cause it makes me happy to have completed this quilt...(it was my UFO for January, but if you don't tell anyone..... ;-)
Here's the next UFO coming up. This quilt is a strip swap with 5 other quilty friends. All our labels helped make the quilt back fabric wide enough to overhang the front for quilting.
Sorry for the dark photo...can you see 6 quilt labels?? :-)

Have a great weekend and happy sewing.........

Wow - that 9 patch is GORGEOUS - I'm putting that on my list! And I love your strip swap quilt too, great idea for the labels!

I love your 9 patch - and with matching pillow! Another UFO done! It was so good getting together today - thank you again for driving. I had a great time at LaVerne's and the quilt Show!

Ditto, ditto, ditto!! I agree with everything Barb and Allie said. I really love the pistachio of the strip quilt and the simplicity of the 9patches. Were those just from scraps??

Your 9 patch is fabulous! I love how perfect that border is!
