PLAID - Finished

Yes, the plaid quilt is finished.  This quilt is a convergence design using one (discontinued) gradient from Colorways by Vicki. The borders are from a different gradient that she wasn't happy with and used as a giveaway prize. (Lucky me!) 

I love the full range of colors in this quilt. Using the convergence plan (a Ricky Tims design) makes it look like a lovely plaid.  I opted for a black binding as the edges are mostly dark. 

I had this "no-name" batik in my stash from years ago, so I decided to use it as the backing. 



I think these photos do justice to this little table topper quilt.  I haven't decided where it should go at this point, so it is over a chair back so I can see it frequently. (grin) I love the colors and the design. 

I need to pull out another PHD (project half done) and start toward another finish.   Heaven knows I have several more (several??? ha ha) in various places. I know that I have at least three tops that need quilted. Not to mention projects that were started and "put on hold" and forgotten. Or not forgotten but waiting for their time to be ripe for completion.   

Until Next Time,

What a beautiful finish! And great photos, too. I love it and it really does work as a plaid - convergence was a fun technique.

The colours in this topper remind me of a table cloth I used to have. It really looks like a fun picnic blanket
