First finish of 2013!!
A quilt for my friend Carlos' son Sam.
It's made entirely of scraps -- the background green was Cinnamon's and the rest are from quilts I've made previously. The back is pieced scraps, the binding is pieced scraps, and the batting was pieced from leftovers as well!
It measured 51 x 41 post washing. I finished the top last February and finally made the quilt sandwich sometime in...the fall? I wish I would have been able to get to the quilting of it two weeks ago for a 2012 finish but unfortunately deathly illness took care of that possibility.
I free-motion quilted it for the first time in a long time, just BIG loopy loops and spirals etc.
I'm super happy with how this turned out!!! Now I can move on to basting the quilt sandwich of another top I finished many months ago... :)
