I have a finish and a one monthly goal completion to celebrate. My circa 1880 quilt is finished. I used 225 swap blocks from my quilty friends to make the top and added a border fabric that was gifted to me from another quilty friend some time ago. I could not be more pleased. The photos are a little dark from an Indiana dreary winter day, but, the quilt is shiny to me. So much talent from other quilters are part of my quilt in each little block.

I used a cotton sheet for the back and free motion swirls for the quilting. I actually ran out of the omni thread with 12 inches to go and had to wait for an order to come in, before, I could finish it. I tried 4 quilt stores in Indianapolis to find it, and had to order it online. I usually have back ups but, not this time sigh...
What a sweet finish!!! Beautiful!
