Here & there, I work on my own projects and this year I’ve been digging out UFOs to finish. I quilted this in June but then was slow to finish the binding by hand and getting 2 quilt holders for me.
I started the blocks at a Bonnie Hunter workshop near me back in 2008. (The pattern is free and listed on Bonnie’s website.) Soon after the workshop, I finished the blocks and had the center with sashings & cornerstones together. This year I trimmed the leftover HSTs and made the flying geese border and added the other borders. A non-pink quilting friend had the perfect piece of bright pink in her stash to donate to help with my borders. Thanks!!
Bonnie’s main theme is using scraps and stash fabrics and this is my “free” quilt. I didn’t buy anything special for this quilt. I just pulled blacks & pinks from my fabric bins when I started the project. It sings/screams the 1990’s but also has memories of little girl dresses, other quilt projects, and even a paintstick workshop at another guild.
I quilted it with pink thread and included feathered wreaths and funky feathers for the borders.
Even the backing of a weird pink flannel was in my stash. My label is an extra block made at the workshop and includes Bonnie’s signature as well as mine.
and sew on... 
Your quilt is really lovely! And the pink thread for the feathers is perfect and the feathers are beautiful! Sometimes the triangles go one direction and soon another glance sends them the other way. Good job from a non-quilter!
Beautiful! The border turned out wonderful with your leftover triangles. I have so many of them I’ve saved over the years, it’s nice to see some actually put to good use. I can’t believe you actually had enough pink flannel for the back! Isn’t scary to find some of these things in our stashes? I’m trying to catalog all my UFO’s, pictures, measurements, etc. I want to have a place I can go to look at them and start finishing them. Yes, I have enough to call it cataloging. The earth should shudder when I actually get anything totally completed.
Oh dear, Diane, I’d shudder if I had my UFOs actually listed. For now, I’m doing all right with just doing the next one that I want to dig out. LOL!!
And that pink backing… there is enough for another quilt! I sure hope it was a good deal! It really is heavy and warm. (especially when hand-sewing on the binding in July….)
