A Friday Finish!


I am linking up with Sarah's Can I get a Whoop Whoop! and Finish it up Friday over at Crazy Mom Quilts

I finally bit the bullet this week and quilted the front of my Poinsettia Pillow from Quilt Camp! This is made using Faith's Poinsettia Mini pattern. This was my second time doing paper pieced blocks. It was time consuming  but Faith's instructions are excellent. It was also really nice to have her right there to ask questions, or to bounce fabric choices off of! :)

Here it is after quilting. Yea!



My fabric choices for the back. I made a basic envelope style back. Simple.

And there it is in its new home. Now to keep the boys grubby hands off of it!




 This was also on my UFO list for Leanne's 2013 Finish-a-long. Check one off my list!

    1. As soon as I saw the Odds and Ends line I knew it would work perfectly in this room. I snatched up a layer cake as soon as it came out!
