Off To A Good Start

The week's off to a good start! I loaded up "Think Positive!" yesterday and finished quilting it today. I chose a wool/cotton batting and a new, to me, pantograph: Curls by Beany Girl Quilts. I'm excited about the overall effect, it's nice to have this one ready to bind.


I found a perfectly suited backing fabric for this one; well, actually, Mr. Goodneedle found the piece. We were in a fabric store together, I was looking for a soft, low volume print to back it with when he discovered this one. "What do you think?" he asked. I think he has an excellent eye is what I think! 
Life is Good!

    That is a very nice panto. Love what it does to this quilt.
    Now you can just send Mr. G to the LQS when you need a back. : )
