boho heart finish and one monthly goal

My boho heart quilt is finished in time for my one monthly goal for December 2022. I really like it, and I am glad to mark this off the list. Hidden in this quilt are a few vintage blocks, my orphan blocks that remind me of quilts past, and scraps from other quilters I admire.

72 x 74


12 yards of fabric

I used the top fabric in my backing pile. since it was colorful, and, I used the same fabrics as the background to bind it. I free formed swirls on the long arm for quilting. And thanks to the pictures, I will know it was finished during Christmas time.


We are having the nasty weather that most of the US is experiencing. It is - 10 degrees with heavy winds. Some of the ground looks almost empty of snow while we have big snow drifts. I am glad the weather channel says it will leave tomorrow. It does mean postponing our trip to our son's for Christmas eve. I hope everyone has a merry Christmas

    I know what to do with my orphans! I need to clear up some design wall space first. It will be one of those projects that stay up for a while.
