Ruth - the Flimsy

Ruth is now a completed quilt top -- 56" wide by 72" long.

I had planned to take the top outside for photos because the colors are less stark that my photos show, but it super windy again today so indoor photos were the only workable option.

Here is a close up of some of the fabrics.

My long insert strip was exactly long enough for the backing - hooray!

Here is the quilt top laid over the end of the pressing table and backing.

I'm delighted with the way Ruth finally came together - I confess to having my doubts along the way but trusting the process paid off once again.

(and since someone will ask, the quilt in the background is named Someday is Now - inspired by a Sujata Shah design)
