Someone's Happy

This quilt was months in the making.  Of course, if I would work on one project at a time, it might have been finished sooner. Read the original post here.
This quilt finished at 98" x 98".   I quilted it with two different threads, yellow and white.


I changed up the quilting for both effect, and my arms and back.  It was a lot of quilt to move around.

Here's a close up of the back.
I was able to get a binding to match the colors perfectly.  I love the stripes.

  9. Hey Robin, visiting from the Grow Your Blog Challenge. Hope everything is going well for you and yours. I had never heard of using two colors of thread for a quilt before, but I'm not that creative when it comes to needlecrafts! Beautiful work!
