Tired fingers/finished quilt

It’s done!  SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURESThe urgently needed sofa quilt for a sick friend is finished and ready for delivery.  Total time from first fabric cut to finish and laundering was 41 days.  That’s close to my record of 39 days for a finished sofa quilt (see Log Cabin Sofa Quilt).

It is Winding Way/Wheel of Mystery sofa quilt made with batik and hand-dyed fabric.  Half of the blocks were hand pieced while the other half were made on a vintage sewing machine.  The inner border is mottled black with a piano keys outer border.  It is bound with a blotchy black/red/blue speckled with gold fabric and hand quilted with YLI 40/3 ply cotton quilting thread.  The label is hand embroidered.

The backing is grey with a small black print but was too small so I added a strip of mottled black to bring it to size.  I rounded the mitered corners.  The batting is Hobbs PolyDown.  Finished size is 65″ x 58″.

As an added bonus while making this quilt top, I was able to finish stitching the blocks for the unfinished Wonky Stars quilt.  I have stitched them together and am currently deciding about a border.
