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.
Sandra @ Musings of a Menopausal Melon hosts an annual free QAL. Follow Your Own Path was the 2021 QAL. I can't believe it took me four years to quilt the top.
I used Kona Rich Red, Tiger Lily, Duckling, Clover, and Storm for the background and binding. The print fabrics were from my scrap bin.
I did an all-over stipple in the background using Connecting Threads #21144 Persian Blue. I stitched in the ditch for the shadow arrows. I started echoing inside the arrows but that became cumbersome, so I switched to free-motion quilting. I used thread #21553 Leprechaun, #21170 Lemon, #20863 Red, and #21172 Orange.
I may have another quilt top (or maybe two) from Sandra's QALs that need to be quilted. I'm slowly making my way through my list of UFOs. Slow progress is still progress. 😊
