blogger's choice bundle quilt ---> cracker quilt :: finished

I finished this quilt top in August of 2013.  You can click this link to go back & read more about how I pieced the top.  


I sent this quilt to Abby Latimer for long-arm quilting.  We decided on the 30’s Flower pattern, which I think turned out really great on this quilt.  


For binding, I went with a minty green with white polka dot that I think has a great vintage feel to it and works perfectly for this quilt. 


And how about one more picture of the quilt "in action"...


The "giveaway" will remain open through the month of May.  Click back to this post for the details & to enter, if you are interested!   Giveaway now closed.

    Such a fun quilt! And I love to see it in action--that's the best part of a quilt I think.
