Wild Horses

A finish, a finish!   This beautiful quilt, make from Laurel Birch fabric, was on my UFO list for a few months as I owned the fabric, but was afraid to cut it.  I struggle with large prints as well as coordinating fabric.  It's almost TOO matchy-matchy, but I think the addition of the cream tones it down a bit.

The orange and turquoise prints were also directional, meaning cutting the sashing took more attention than normal.
 Now finished with straight-line quilting and a coordinating purple fabric, I'm pleased it's done.  It finished at 54"x 63" and crinkled up nicely after a wash and dry.
Now to fold it up and tuck it away for a Christmas gift!

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
