Forest Quilt Along, and July Finish!


Over the week-end, I put the finishing binding on my Forest Quilt Along blocks / quilts!  As I mentioned in this post, it was also my July "A Lovely Year of Finishes" goal. I was hoping to make all 12 blocks, but life suddenly got really busy after 6 were made.  I hope to make at least a few extras in the months to come.

Since I only had 6, and love, love, love these blocks, I knew that I wanted to make something that I could put up on our walls, and look at every day.  I decided to split them all up to spread the love all over the house, and made 2 mini quilts, and 1 throw pillow.

As usual, the quilting part of theses was a lot of fun too.  Here's a few details:




Thanks again to Joanna, Julianna, and all of the other artists and wonderful hosts of this quilt along!

  5. Wonderful set! I'm so happy that you finish it:) don't worry about making more than 6 blocks. These blocks are so complicated that piecing 6 is very impressing! (especially that you pieced the most complicated blocks from our QAL!)
