The pieces and parts for London Fields were cut
in December 2107 . . .
Now, at last, the quilt is finished.
(no outdoor photos due to cold, wind, and rain)
Finished size is 52" wide x 64" long
Binding is a 2010 VIP Cranston stripe.
Quilted with my liberated fans and echoed flowers
using Glide thread in Buttercup.
I cannot tell you how many times I changed my mind
about possible backing fabrics for this quilt top.
On Tuesday of this week I decided
to use this Sit and Snip yardage
by Connie Haley for 3WishesFabric.
It turned out to be just what the top needed.

Next up on the quilting list?

What a stunner! The quilting in particular really enhances it. Some lovely scraps in there. Great job.
Simply gorgeous!
this is one beautifully soft and calming quilt--I love it!! How nice to snuggle up under that one...nice work finishing up--hugs from faraway, Julierose :()
You are on a roll! Another beauty. I love the surprise backing.
Some quilts are like fruitcake: they have to be put away for a while until they're ready to serve, or in this case, quilt-and-bind. Hooray for a (tasty) finish.
Love the subtle use of color in this quilt. And the quilting texture is just fabulous.
Those liberated fans and bright backing are fabulous! I really liked that soft alphabet print that you chose the first time around. I'll be interested to see where that one ends up.
The quilting is so rich. The colors are very soothing.
A lovely quilt, subtle with just the right amount of bright colour! And, what's not to love about a surprise finding on the back!
One gorgeous quilt!!! Love your mix of fabrics and the quilting design combination splendid - wish I could quilt like that!!! Congratulations on a beautiful quilt.
Such sophisticated fabric makes a wonderful quilt. Congrats.
I love the crisp definition the quilting adds to the finished quilt. Great quilting designs, too!
