A PLUS FINISH

Over a year ago, I was involved in an on-line swap of low volume charm squares. It was a lot of fun getting them in the mail. I used them to make a Plus quilt after seeing one of Rachel's on Flickr. I got a top done, but loved the look of it so much I knew that it needed to be just a bit bigger.  When I cut the packages of charms at work, I took one home and used them in the quilt almost immediately. They are so handy to just grab and sew---no measuring!

I used bright scraps for the pluses so they would pop.  I thought it would be interesting to see what a black and white shot looked like with such a mix of background fabrics. Kind of cool.

Linda quilted this one for me. I wanted texture and she wanted to try out this quilting design. We are both happy with the result  : )  The binding is a text print called Wordplay.

One last shot.  I've decided I will never be a photographer. I didn't notice all the tents in the background until I uploaded this picture onto the computer.  Duh !

my first finish on the list for quarter 3 of the Finish Along  (list)
