I had an uninterrupted morning (except for laundry) in my sewing room today and look what was finished. My collage in the woods top is all ready to be quilted. I really like how it turned out.
And I dug through the stash to make a pieced backing for it. I found 3 yards of a tan, used up another 2/3 yard of the same green used in the border. And used another 1/3 yard of lighter green from the stash. And made my binding from the same brown as the narrow inner border. So it's ready to become a real quilt instead of just a flimsy. I'll figure out the total yardage used once it's all done. The green and brown borders came from 3 yards purchased this week.

I love it, is there a pattern? Nice job.
The cottage/house block is from the Farm Girl Vintage book. The tree blocks are from a pattern we received on our guild bus trip. I won 12 of the trees and then made 3 more to go with them.
Excellent finish! I love the brown frame and green border with these blocks. The guild members are going to be delighted to see their trees in this quilt.
We're doing a Farm Girl Friday, block of the month in my small online FB group. If you'd be interested in joining let me know. It's a bunch of my blogging friends, plus each of us has a few local friends in the group. Love how the quilt turned out and you were super productive to get the backing done too!
I'm glad you went with no sashing for this one. It's lovely!
