Liberated Wedding Ring - The Quilt

The quilting of my Liberated Wedding Ring is finished!

I used thirteen different Glide threads

and tied/buried at least 75 knots along the way.

The finished quilt measures 45" wide by 58.25" long.

(the flimsy was 48" x 60")

(I started this project as part of 

the 2016 Rainbow Scrap Challenge)

It was very windy when I tried taking these photos,

so my options were more limited than usual.

I do like the way the afternoon sunlight 

through the tree branches plays across the quilt.

 I quilted long rows of echoed spirals 

along each of the four 2" border strips.

This photo was taken with the quilt draped 

over our porch swing to highlight the quilted textures.

I'm very, very pleased with the way this quilt turned out!

Now, for the sake of context,

here is the swing with three of our four swivel gliders.

I cannot tell you how much we have

used these chairs in the few weeks that we've had them.

To go with the new porch furniture/swing,

DH built four small side tables.

Each one has a unique set of four ceramic tiles 

set into the top with lockable casters on the legs.

We tried our first outdoor picnic dinner over the weekend.

Little Man thought it was great fun!

(and yes, he can get into and out of the chairs all by himself)
