A Wonky Finish

Most of my week was spent outside camping and finishing up the binding on my wonky blocks quilt.  I'm not entirely certain if I like the quilting I did on this quilt.  First it's hard to see what the quilting is, and second I'm not too happy with the way the variegated thread looks, I wonder if I should have gone with something solid that blended in... Oh well, I'm sure the little baby that this quilt is for will grow to like it (hahaha no pun intended :).  But before I show you the completed quilt I thought I would share a photo of my little hooligans...

Jordan and Payton
Yeah they actually look like that more often than not...  Anyhow here is that finished quilt!  Yeah  FINISH!



Here are some photo's of the back of the quilt... funny now that I see it in pictures I like it more hahaha.





Well that's about it, just a finish (I love typing that).  So onward and forward, time to focus some serious energy onto "The Big One" (see previous posts  http://quiltingcurve.blogspot.ca/2012/05/big-one.html and  http://quiltingcurve.blogspot.ca/2012/07/working-curve.html for details of this ambitious project for a novice)

I'm linking up to the Needle and Thread Network

      I drew the design on the quilt with a pencil before I started. It was a little hard because it's such a loose pattern but I just followed the lines.

    Oh I would love to be camping and quilting!
    I wish one our week's vacation time coming up we could leave town, rent our favorite cabin and just have a good time.

    It's really awesome, and so is the quilting! I like all the color with a little bit of black thrown in, it really makes the other colors pop.
