It's a finish!
Basket Weave
42 x 60
I made the top last September when I was cleaning out a box of 3 inch width scraps. In amongst those scraps were some 3 x 6.5 inch rectangles someone had given me that were mostly yellows and a few reds. I cut more warm colored rectangles and pieced a few from some of the other scraps in the box. And then I added rust colored sides 2.25 x 6.5 to each rectangle and then wove them into a top.
I quilted it on my sewing machine with horizontal and vertical lines.
The back is a mottled brown with apples.
And sew on...

I'm 73 years old today. No regrets.
Great finish Cathy!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the quote. Fortunately and unfortunately I learned this early at age 33, when Dad died over the course of 4 months, to lung cancer. He opted no treatment, which made sense to this RN. The gift I received was appreciating every....single......day. Sunrise is a gift!
Happy Birthday! I will be the same age later this year
ReplyDeleteHope this new year of life will bring you and yours many rich blessings! Hugs, NancyO
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! That is a great quote - and a good thought to remember. I love your quilt finish! The yellows and reds are a pretty combination.
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy Birthday, Cathy. I wish you a blessed and beautiful day. Now as far as the quilt- well you had me at red and yellow! I LOVE IT! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! We should all be proud of our age. It took lots of battles to get to and we survived them all.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I turned 77 on March 2. I don't feel that old (well, not most days).
