First 2016 Finish-A-Long Finish / Friday Finish

I actually finished this last weekend, but between me being sick, Sharla having eye surgery, and just a crazy week, I've not had time to photograph it until now. I'm happy it is done and so is Sharla, she has been wanting this for a long time. I think it was on my list every month last year, but I just never got to it.  Box Trot is no small quilt it was 63 x 93 1/2 before quilting, which is a twin size. It is nice and long, which is really nice.

I tried photographing it both inside and outside, because it was very hard to get the bright colors on this one to show in the photos. I can say this is Sharla all the way, bright and cheerful to the max. The fabric in the boxes is wavy and it really looks wonky in the photos.

As you can see above I quilted it in random loops, and it was fun to just let go and quilt. No real plan just going loopy crazy. I also really love the backing fabric for this one because it was so busy that any mistakes (yes I do make some) were easily hid from sight. It is also the fabric for the outer border. We used the wavy line fabric for the binding and I love how it looks.

I'm glad to have this one done, one because it has been hanging out for far too long and two because Sharla is really going to enjoy using it. So one off the list, and now to get working on the other projects I need to do. Today I will be linking up with  Fabric Frenzy Friday @ Fort Worth Fabric Studio, Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? @ Confessions of a Fabric Addict, Needle and Thread Thursday @ My Quilt Infatuation, TGIFF @ The Quilt Journal and Finish It Up Friday @ Crazy Mom Quilts. And this is one off my 2016 Finsh-A-Long list too!!!!
