The Daily Mail

Just a quick post today as it's busy times around here preparing for my son's wedding this weekend!

I want to share a "finish"....just in time for my trunk shows next week!

This quilt was a result of an Instagram sewalong, #100days100blocks, using the City Sampler book by Tula Pink.

You can have a look at my previous post, HERE, to read about it a bit more.

A quick note....this has been offered as a sewalong three times now by @gnomeangel, and she has announced there will be another 100days quilt next year but using a different pattern. Follow her to keep updated, if you have an interest. I think it doesn't start til next Summer, so lots of time to think on it!

I am soooo happy with my quilt. It absolutely is how I envisioned it. It represents a newspaper and I am calling it The Daily Mail, after a newspaper my husband reads. Kind of appropriate, as it was a daily project, don't you think?

I also didn't want a binding, as I thought it would take away from the newspaper effect, so I finished the edges with a facing...



I quilted it with the perfect design, called Malachite...


It gives the quilt awesome texture...


Hard to see the quilting, I guess, but it's difficult getting good pictures lately with the gloomy weather we've been having.

I love this quilt...



Have a great day...I really have to get going on my day now! So much to do!!!

I am linking up with Busy Hands Quilts for Finished or Not Friday, and with Confessions of A Fabric Addict for Can I Get A Whoop Whoop?.
