Finish A Long 2018, 3rd quarter finishes, part 1

Goodness gracious me, it is the last day of the link ups for the third quarter of Finish A Long 2018, and I'm only hitting the keyboard now. My predicted link up of proposed finishes is HERE. I won't list them all at this stage, basically there were 2 quilts that should have been finished, 3 quilts that had no chance of being finished, and 2 cardigans that were hopeful of a finish.  And how did I do?

One quilt finish, and the cardigan. Not the quilt finish I was hoping for, but never mind! Each finish has to be linked up separately, so here's the first, and the second will follow hot foot.

My Sandra's Scraps Quilt, the Playtime Plus Quilt


I blogged about this finish in the last week or so, but it seemed way to early for a link up post then! I wanted to get a photo in the orchard county of Armagh but the rains came.


 So .... here are some more photos taken around our garden, the quilt looking rather nice in the late summer/early autumn garden if I say so myself.







This is the first finish that I have been truly happy with my fmq, so here are some close ups of the quilting.


The white background got white ripples, to keep a bit of movement flowing in the quilt.



The shadow plus in the background got a sort of large loop/small loop off a central line. Sort of reminiscent of plants in the garden, maybe delphiniums.


The small pluses in the foreground have narrow lines going backwards and forwards. The quilting thread reflects the colour of the plus.


The binding, of course, is my favourite spot.


And there we have it.
Finish no 1.
