Finish It Up Friday - 30 November 2012

I managed to get my Calendar Quilt top finished just this week:

Calendar Quilt
This has been a Block of the Month for our guild this year.  Since we do not have a December meeting, the block criteria for December was given early and that gave me a chance to jump ahead and get it all done.

Unfortunately, I'm not very happy with the setting and colors I chose for the sashing and borders, but I refuse to take it all apart again.  If I had it to do over again, I think I would have bordered each block with a dark from the block and sewed them all together without sashings.  I think that would have given it a more scrappy homey look.  At this rate, I may be donating this one to a kindergarten classroom!  Oh well....done is done...now onto the quilting!

  1. Isn't it awful when that happens? It looks great as it is, but I do understand sometimes wanting to get quilts we don't love out of the house!

  2. I think the green and blue contrast really well with the blocks!

  3. Maybe while you are doing the quilting your quilt will grow on you... that sometimes happens to me.

  4. Whoop whoop, Heather! I think it's pretty, and as someone else said, it may grow on you with time. But if not, some kindergarten class will be very lucky!!

  7. And I hope it does grow on you, because it looks great with the unifying color scheme of the sashing. But if it doesn't, that's a really good idea, gifting it to a kindergarten class. You can see someone snuggled under it at a reading station, can't you? Or hanging pretty on the wall. :)
