Finished or Not Friday 2-16-24

Finally a finish. This smaller version of EnProvence, from Bonnie Hunter . In 2016. I started by making 1/2 the blocks. It was a mystery, so I wasn’t sure how that would go. 

Last page of the pattern. 16 blocks! 

I made 9 blocks, 15 “ square, plus borders. 

I stalled out on getting it to a quilter. Last summer I asked a friend who had quilted other things for me. She had decided not to quilt for others. It was then I discovered the one wrong block. 

And I had pieced a backing of this modern lavender and orange fabric! I fixed the wrong block, and still really didn’t like the backing. So it hung in the closet. 

In January I went lookin through my stash for a different backing fabric. I settled on a piece of Thimbleberries fabric that was provided in a BOM class I took. I did not finish that quilt and will not. I have used up some of the fabric in other projects. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized this was a wide back fabric! I cut it to 78 X 78 after checking with a LQS for her requirements. I took it to her on January 31st, a Wednesday. She called me on Thursday, to say it was finished. Wow! I picked it up Friday. Then needed to trim it up and make the binding. I had selected this fabric as a possible, a long time ago!

Fast forward to yesterday. I  finished hand stitching the binding down at my Thursday Stitchers group!

It needs a label, and it will be completely finished!  I’m linking up with Alycia for Finished or Not Friday! 

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful!
