This quilt with Kaffe collective fabrics was finished on Wednesday. It is 52.5" x 74". It has 80/20 batting in it and it was quilted by Robin Diaz. It is a nice throw quilt size.
The back is three strips of Kaffe collective fabric, leftovers from making backings for other quilts.
I treated myself to a fat quarter pack of Tim Holtz neutrals and 2 half yards. I think I'll look through my Stonehenge fabrics to pair with them in a 16 patch quilt. Or maybe a quilt of all triangles. Or maybe Sawtooth stars and 16 patches.
I quilted my Christmas table runner last night with gold metallic thread. You never know if it will be a good day with metallic thread so ditch quilting was best in case I had trouble. I changed to a topstitch needle with a big eye to give it a chance to work well. It did break 4 times but not until I was almost to the end. I'll get it trimmed today ad cut the binding.

Beautiful KF quilt finish, Wanda;))) Such a pretty mix of patterns in this one--very warm looking.
Only 22 here this early morning...it's gotten pretty cold overnight...
Love the gold thread on your table runner--I find metallics difficult to manage by hand, too...I've never tried them on my machine...
I hope your upcoming weekend is a good one...hugs, Julierose
