I am always happy to finish something that was on the design board from the last month. And I did complete the table toppers I was working on in February along with a few other things during the month. I love when things come together and get scratched of the to-do list. However there are still a few small projects left over from my new year's resolution that need to be completed but at least the big ones are all done.

With that said, this is a quilt I made from a pattern called Backyard Fun that is in a book called Precut Quilts. I chose to make this because I had a fat quarter pack with 8 different fabrics in it and this pattern called for 5 fat quarters and some yardage for the background. Luckily I did have some yardage that was enough to make this quilt top. And I would have a few fat quarters left for another project.
The image in the book showed a quilt top made with medium value prints for the main blocks and a darker value print for the connector blocks. My fabrics were dark value prints for the main blocks so I chose a lighter value print for the connector blocks. It totally changed the look of the quilt top. I will post more about that when I have the quilt finished.
But for now, this is the project hanging on the design board. March has come in like a lion with a day where the forecast is snow all day long. It feels like a great day to spend in the sewing studio.
