....and mine is FINISHED!
It was an easy finish, so to say; the top was already done and I had the backing fabric and batting. I finished it the first week this month, but didn't get around to take photos until a couple of days ago. Lots of rain and gloomy days lately, not the best weather for photographing.
I love scrappy quilts more and more. I had so much fun rediscovering 'old' fabric, some from when I started quilting 15 years ago. (Gasp! Is it really that long ago?!)
It's a fun 'I spy' (Eye Spy) quilt, where kids can look for objects that are difficult to spot from a distance. Do you see the cats? The Eiffel Tower? The baubles? Sliced bananas?
If you are a scrap quilter, don't you just love all those different fabrics that has a history?
When I saw this fabric, I knew I had to buy it for this quilt! It fits so very well a log cabin quilt! I love it! The disadvantage is it is not a wide backing, which I prefer. (Wide backings make my life easier!) I had to add two lengths together. I have machine sewn the binding to the back, to avoid putting stress to my not so good elbow.
This is what is left of the backing fabric; some 2", 2.5" squares and some 1.5" strips. Already cut and stored in boxes for a future scrappy quilt. :)

good to see you blog this week, love your photos of what you are working. I hope your little island area is safe still
Beautiful scrappy cabin! Thanks for sharing it with us. :o)
So nice to have a finish that has been . . . years in the making, with all those pieces that have history in your quilting life. Fun, fun!
Wonderful, Astrid. What a great use of some of those scraps we all have.
Well done on the finish! This is a lovely quilt.
Each quilt has a story - some stories are recent and others take years in the making. Each is special in it's own way :)
