Black and white
Finished! Finally... the black and white quilt that was on the frame in June is officially finished. And June is a little misleading since the blocks date from 2 bees that I participated in several years ago so this is a true UFO!
I used fabric from my stash, bought years ago with no real projects in mind, for the backing and also 2 leftover blocks that I couldn't fit in the top.
All I had left with this one was the binding. A return trip to France a few weekends ago gave me just the opportunity to do just that!
I must admit I am not 100% happy with the quilting but I'll go with the "finished is better than perfect" mantra and maybe I'll add more a later stage but for now, I'll class it as ready to be gifted!
Quilt stats:
Top: Bee blocks from 2012 & 2013
Backing: various black and white fabric from my stash
Quilted with Superior thread King Tut in June 2019
Finished August 2019
Size 60' x 72'

One more OPAM for August and one of my Q3 FAL list. And I'm glad I had picked this one as my One monthly goal for August or I would not have finished it yet....
