"Got Cookies?"

"Got Cookies?" 75" X 92"

Another UFO bites the dust! There's no other feeling quite like tackling those pesky languishing projects-half-done and finishing them up. Our road trip last weekend provided more than enough seat time in the car to complete the handwork on the binding and move this scrap quilt, at long last, onto the "done" list. Mr. Goodneedle helped me to rig up a hanging system off of our side porch for quilt photography, this was the system's premier. I prefer to shoot photos outside when possible, this location is perfect as it's a nothern exposure and the colors are true. I'm going to have to figure out a way to eliminate the shadow in the top third for future photos, it's the result of the overhang from the eaves, I might have to aim some light up there... we'll see. As far as improvements to the quilt itself, in regard to layout and design, I'll make alternating block quilts from here on in with an uneven number of rows to ensure all four corners reflect the same block... how many years have I been quilting before I figured this out? But, for now, this one is done and documented; and it's all good!

A shot from the side to show the quilting detail.

offering a beautiful, and unexpected, stained-glass effect.

Life is Good!
