Finish Something!

I was suffering a bit of quilty ADD yesterday and wanted to get started on some of the many new projects I have on hand. Yet, the cutting table was still buried and the quilt frame had an untouched quilt still sitting on it. So, I told myself I had to finish something before I could start another.

The quilting went quickly. I did a continuous line row of trees, very Christmassy, and I was pleased with myself for trying something new.



I had to remind myself I was stitching trees, not soldiers. It was okay that they weren't uniform, and if the "ground" was uneven. Still, an occasional Charlie Brown tree turned up in the lot.

This is the Spring Breeze pattern by Dorothy Young Designs, without the border to continue the design, since my irregular light values made the pattern hide. I still love the look, though, lots of fun scrappy Christmas fabrics.

I had to share the back, too. The dot fabric on the sides is the light value in the second quilt I am making from this pattern. That one looks the way it was designed. I'll share a photo as soon as it is done.
