I actually HAVE finished and nearly finished projects to share today. The past couple of Fridays it was more of a progress report on NOT finished things.
The Lone Star wall hanging for my son-in-law is all finished. My daughter wanted to honor his Native American heritage with a star quilt. We shared lots of pictures back and forth online until deciding on this spinning version of a Lone Star. In hindsight, I'm wishing I had used the black as the background, and added one more bright color. But it did turn out very pretty and it's quilted with a gorgeous variegated thread that really pops. I love the texture of the quilting too. Mariah did a beautiful job quilting this for me.
In the "nearly finished" category is Cactus In the Cabin. It's a flimsy and 85" square, after adding the 6" black borders all around. Green batik binding strips are cut and hanging with the flimsy but I may wait until later this winter to get this one quilted.
Also nearly finished is the Bah Humbug pillow. I need to finish hand stitching the edge binding, and find an 18" pillow form for it.
