I had thought I would do a celtic quilting on the quilt, but, opted in stead for the big swirls in a cool gray color.
And for a backing I used a bit of the shamrock - don't you know. While making it, the green was very overpowering green, but, with the blue borders it calmed the colors. I like that it makes large circles as a secondary pattern.

This was a finish for the 2019 finish along. My list is here.
I had hoped to get the border on the Christmas snowflake quilt. I did, and, I also pieced the backing, and prepared the binding. It's ready for the longarm.

My Celtic Solstice is still hanging in a closet, waiting for quilting. Congratulations on getting yours done!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty quilt. I did that mystery too. I started hers this year and was just not in the right place to continue, so I'm using the pieces in other things.

ReplyDeleteLots of good work here. CONGRATS for your Celtic Solstice finish! It can be so amazing to see how much borders can change the look of a quilt's center. That green is perfect in this. It would get lost if it weren't so strong.
