Another Finish!

Gideon's Quilt began as a Jelly Roll Race quilt except I used my own cut strips from juvenile prints in my stash. 








I was unhappy with the final result so I cut it into crosswise strips. See previous post for a further explanation.  

















It is now quilted, the binding is on, and the label sewn on the back. Count this another finish for 2015 and check off number 1 on my Finish Along list! 











 It finishes at 71" x 90" with a perimeter of 322 inches. I even pieced the backing with some yardage I had, so I busted my stash from 10.75 yards of fabrics.




 I hope our happy warrior has many adventurous dreams under his new quilt!

    Cutting into crosswise strips certainly made it something special. Great idea; I'll be trying that before too long, I'm sure.
