This month was much busier than January and February, and there was no potentially broken ankle to give me extra quilting time, and, and, and... and I just wasn't in love with this project.
I'm a big fan now that it's done. This was a charm pack of madder/brown fabrics from Connecting Threads several years back. It was a freebie, or it wouldn't have been in my stash. I finally cut the charms into 4s, alternated them with muslin, and began hand quilting.
You can see in this view of the back (which is NOT the true color, but it shows the quilting), that it makes a bit of a basket weave effect. I had hoped it would be more pronounced on the front, but it looks cool anyway.

Way to go!
Something very simple but very pretty. I like it.
Nice finish for March. Judy C
Perfect!
I'm glad you ended up liking it. Nothing is worse than laboring over something you don't even like.
Congratulations! What a great finish, and it looks beautiful. Sadly I'm only 2 for 3 (March let me down). Looking forward to seeing what you finish in April!
Cheers,
Dionne
