For my SIL's birthday I finished up my
Abundance quilt from
Jeni Baker's pattern. I instantly fell in love with the pattern when she first blogged about it...and I think I even went straight home and pulled some stash to start one of my own!

I started piecing the rows in the middle of July, last year...
and was finished with the top a few days later....and then it just sat, nicely folded...for almost a year...
Until the 2016FAL/Q2.
I used my "go-to" quilting pattern Orange Peel, with some FMQ swirlies in the border...and finished just in time for my SIL's birthday on June 21st...she loved it!

| This is the awesome backing fabric...shows the quilting nicely! |
I totally doofed-out on getting a nice picture of the entire quilt before she took it home...but the picture above shows the quilting really well. I used a fabric from Joann's, that looks a lot like a vintage sheet, for the backing...it works perfectly with the scrappy pinks, greens and yellows in the top!
The quilted ended up being 72" X 88" (including the border I added to the pattern) and will make for a fantastic picnic quilt for her and her daughters to use this summer.
Sixth item checked off my UFO list!
This makes finish #16 for 2016...and 52 remaining UFO's (36 remaining on the
2ndQ List)
