Finally, I have something to show!

 I finally have a new finish! 

I found some time to quilt my Stacks (of Love) quilt! I finished the top at the end of December 2020 and managed to sandwich it a while ago but never got around to quilting it. I had other projects that I was working on including some secret sewing 😉 but now I needed to quilt this one before I could move to the next step on my secret quilt. 

The fabric is left over from my quilt Strawberry Kisses quilt using the fabric line Strawberry Fizz. My inspiration for this quilt came from this quilt.  I used most of what I had left over and added the black and white strips from my stash. I changed the size to accommodate the amount of fabric I had. 

The backing is a piece of Mary Engelbreit fabric I had in my stash which was donated to me years ago. c.2006
I think it works really well with the front since it has a Mary Engelbreit 
feel to the quilt. What do you think? Great message too!
I quilted in straight lines approximately 1" apart from the top to the bottom.
The binding is a black and white stripe which goes along with the partial strips of narrow black and white columns in the design. See picture above with back and front showing. 
The quilt finished size is 59" x 64.5"

I also wanted to recognize the awesome gift sent by Sarah @Confessions of a Fabric Addict for participating in the Hands2Help Challenge. Wow! What an awesome gift! It is nice to be recognized! Thank You!

Well, I hopefully will be able to show off what I have been secretly sewing in not too long! I was able to sandwich the quilt today! Now to do the quilting!
