Proof of finish.........



I'm publishing a second post today to get these finishes in at the end of the year.

Finish #19 for 2020

 Yardbirds Circling the Cat wallhanging finished before midnight Dec. 31, 2020.  It is approximately 32" square.  Hand finished binding.



The back is a mottled batik.







Finish #20 for 2020

You might remember this mini colorwash I made while I was teaching my Colorwash360 class.  The little squares finish at 1"






On the back I added the folded squares at the corners so a rod can be put in on any side for hanging.  I don't normally count my small pieces in my yearly count but since this one is art and not a serviceable item like placemat or table mat I am going to count it this year.   It took many hours to find all of the fabrics to make it and arrange and rearrange many times unlike a table mat that I could make in an hour.  I'm only justifying this for myself since I'm pretty structured in my expectations of what I make.

  3. You got there - well done. I love the pattern of the yardbirds/cats and the cute scrappy squares in the border. Also a great idea to put 4 hanging squares on the back of the colourwash, giving you 4 changeable options to hang it. Now onto 2021 :)

  5. Both are marvelous pieces, and you don't need to justify one single thing — to us, anyway! Dealing with one's own exacting standards is a whole other story, but IMO these two make any cut one might encounter. And I so love the Yardbirds... color and flow are so dyname=ic. Happy New Year to you, Wanda!

  6. I count all finishes, since I made them and they are finished. I have low standards LOL. I just noticed the beautiful border on the Yardbirds Circling the Cat. It looks paper pieced.

  7. Congratulations on finishing these beautiful quilts before year end. Yardbirds is striking and you know I love the border you designed. It's fun to see more ways to make a Lone Star.
