Here is my latest quilt! This pattern is called, "Around the Neighborhood." It was a block-of-the-month at Girlfriends. I paid $30 to get in and then free if I finished the monthly block before the next month. Sounds like a good deal to me. :) If I didn't finish the block in time, then it was $5 to get the next block.
I did a pretty good job of keeping up, too, until probably the last 3 months. That is when I was no longer playing. Also, I didn't buy the finishing kit. I now believe that is where they were handing out the rest of the sashing I needed to make the whole quilt match. I've gone back and forth on thinking it looks bad to thinking it's fine. But really the main thing is that it's done! Whew! I care most about that.
I gave this quilt to my friend Cindy. She is the sweetest! I have grown quite found of her.
I had it custom quilted by the fabulous Lainey.
Below is the back of the quilt and the label. I wish I would have taken a better picture of the back. But you can kind of get the idea from this picture. I really love this fabric. And am happy I had enough of it that I didn't have to do a pieced back like I normally do.
I made this pillow to go along with the house quilt for my friend. The photo is lighter than how it really looks, but it gives you an idea.
