A Finish!

 Yay, my first finish of the year.

This big beauty finishes at 66 x 74.

The second of three, 

this 8 x10s quilt,

 has a great paisley back.

I had so many strips out and ready that 

I had enough for three tops.

The first large one that I finished was a gift.

It fits perfectly on the king-size bed of the recipient

without too much overhang.

It did take a bit of time to choose the binding for this one. 

It needed to be something that would 

complement the colors or pull them in,

 as well as suit the black on each block.

I finally figured out that I could use one of these

lovely confetti-type black yardages.

Does anyone else save certain fabrics for the perfect place?

It's time to free those fabrics and start using them!

It certainly worked well for this quilt.

Its fellow, the last of the 8 x10s tops, 

is sewn together and on the rack for 

future layering and finishing up.

The First Finish of 2026 is definitely 

something to celebrate.

Have a great week stitching!
