finish #5

I said at the beginning of last week that I wanted to finish 5 small pieces. I finished this one, #5 last night. In real life the border doesn't seem to jump out like it does in a photograph. I am not totally happy with it, but that is the way I feel about the biggest majority of my pieces when they are first done. It will take me awhile appreciate some of them and accept them as "OK". this one is 19" x 23.5". Here is a detail of my swirly spirals
and here are all 5 of the finishes together.
And here is what is really calling me, some bright pretty fabrics that haven't been cut into yet.
I really appreciate all of the comments from yesterday's post. There were some heart warming stories about quilts and a scarf laid on caskets. I think I will look more into the tradition in the past of casket coverings.

    Perfect for a Sunday morning~
    The CROSS in the center of todays quilt is just breath taking. It just glows with beauty.

    Fun to see all five pieces together. It has to be satisfying for you.

    Love the new fabrics... I think I will print that photo out and take to the fabric shop with me. Good guide for a novice.

    Wow, your cross quilt is such a lesson in what an effect color value can have! The quilt shimmers.

    I loved seeing your five quilts together -- what a range of styles! Have fun with the new fabrics.

    Lovely, lovely, projects. My favorite is the wonky squares and wonky flowers. And my bestest favorite is the coffin cover. While it is coupled with a sad story, I'll be your friend would have loved it.

    The bright fabrics are great. Can't wait to see what they become. Five finishes already this year! What an accomplishment.

    Boy would I love to be the trash bucket for those fabrics scraps! I think a cure to my cabin blues would be a little time sitting in a fabric store inhaling new fabric smell...
