I LOVE having that little extra push to finish something!! and I needed it this month, it was a short month !!
Here is my February Finish!
It is called
Don't Fence Me In
and the pattern is by Atkinson Designs
In her book Monterrey Medallions
and of course
This was a part of the Monochromatic Challenge
hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times
WAY back in 2011
( hiding my face)
I DID NOT think it was that long ago that I finished the top!!
But it was *sigh*
And this is the backing
It was Kizmet - I was looking for something to back it with and I found this really bright orange piece
Of course, After I used ALL of the fabric I had
Little Bit told me he would want a shirt of that fabric..
umm well
Maybe he will settle for the quilt??
and below
The quilting design called
(Quilted by Me!)
and NOW!! A finish!!
and NOW!! A finish!!

Hi Alycia! Are you saying this is a finished UFO from 2011?!! WOWEE! I am tickled orange for you. It's a great finish, and I love the quilting pattern you chose. What a great way to end this short month. ~smile~ Roseanne

Love the tangy orange.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a fun and bright finish. Love the backing fabric, it definitely goes with the front. Would Little Bit really wear that bright of a shirt? My Guy is into Hawaiian shirts and he has some bright ones, but not one that bright.
ReplyDeleteBoy, that really is bright and beautiful! Huge burst of sunshine in this week of dreary weather!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Love the bright orange! Congrats on getting an old UFO finished!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!!! Bright and vibrant and.... one less UFO for you!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Alycia, this is my first visit to your blog and I'm sure glad I stopped by. I love the color orange, so when I saw your quilt, it just made me smile! Love it, and what a fun design (and name). Finishing a UFO feels so good, right!?
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteLove this cool version of a "Rail Fence." Orange just can't help but make everyone smile!
ReplyDeleteWow! Beautiful orange quilt!
ReplyDeleteAwesome finish!! Great job as usual! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteIf Lil' Bit doesn't want it I'LL take it!!!! Love, love, LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteThere is something about orange quilts that makes me smile. This one gives me a big grin! It’s gorgeous. Great finish!
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt and what a great finish. I used to dislike orange, but it has really grown on me. I have many projects older than this one!
ReplyDeleteI love it! So not your usual color palette. But such a nice cheerful quilt for this colorless time of year!
ReplyDeleteGreat finish. Loving the orange!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Alycia. That is a wonderful quilt and a great finished UFO!
ReplyDeleteI love your orange quilt. I reminds me of summer parties and orange fizzy drink. Thanks for sharing at Colour & Inspiration Tuesday.
