Another WIP Quilt Finished!!

There is nothing like a WIP/UFO linky party or two, three or. . . . to get you motivated to complete quilts. Thanks to all for hosting them! I am patting myself on the back because I refrained from getting on the computer so I could complete it today! It helped too that this Saturday was cold and dreary. I actually wore my pjs until noon. Hubby wanted to run errands and I gave him permission to go and that he wasn't going to drag me out in that weather while I was too comfortable in my leopard fleece with pink ribbons wanting to quilt. He made chili for lunch so I could keep working on it.

So here is my wild and crazy Freddy Moran like quilt. Is it too wild?

I free motion quilted the houses with an improvisational curly cue design. The frames are stitched in the ditch, the corners were stippled and the black points have squiggly looking long triangles.

I used multicolor pastels thread for the houses.

Can you see the squiggly lines in the black points?

The backing of my quilt was gifted to me by a peer while on staff at the Pregnancy Center. It was from her mother's stash.  I used a bit of this smiley face fabric in one of the windows of the house blocks. Anyways the remaining yardage was the perfect size to back the quilt and most likely wouldn't find it's way in another quilt. I also made a corner label printed on my inkjet onto photo fabric. It was created in MS Publisher.

The batting for the quilt was pieced together from pieces leftover from another quilt. I layered the edges on top and cut curvy lines. These pieces then were butted together and zigzagged stitched using the walking foot.

Monday is "Lets Get Acquainted" Monday Link up hosted by Plum and June which has been handed off to Better Off Threads. Janice at Better Off Threads is making a beautiful Liberated Wedding Ring quilt. Begin your week by joining in with the Linky Party. Hope to see you there.
