Finished!

Hello Friends,
Whew, I am done with my quilt! Ok, all you curious people, here is the quilt block I was teasing you with. The block is 9-inches finished.

Put together on the diagonal then a splash of color was added. WooHoo! a sofa size quilt!


I worked like a mad woman on this. It is a wedding gift for my daughter's childhood friend. The red border fabric is called "Midnight kisses". Seemed appropriate for a wedding quilt and since the black fabric looks like midnight sky with swirling gray clouds and twinkling stars.Now to get it to the quilters!

Oh, the name of the block?......Ball and chain.....

  7. Oh Rumi I love it. The border fabric sets it of perfectly. Do you do your own quilting or pay someone to do it. Your daughters friend is very lucky what a precious gift.
