Welcome to Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday (TGIFF). TGIFF is the opportunity to share your finishes from this week. You can find out who is hosting each week by heading over to the TGIFF blog.
For three years, Dena and I hosted a block of the month for our guild -- Maritime Modern Quilt Guild. The 2024 version was based on the Communique Quilt by Mouse in my Pocket.
I shared my finished quilt top here. It was professionally quilted -- a prize I won last year from Musings of Menopausal Melon for her annual QAL.
I used Kona Natural for the background. I love the pantograph used.
I wanted the stars to shine, so opted for a light-coloured thread that didn't contrast.
I had been hoarding this wonderful wide backing. Now I wish I had purchased more of it.
I will be keeping this quilt for myself. ♥
It's time for you to link up your finishes from this week. Please also visit a few of the link ups to get some inspiration and to share some quilty love. ♥
