Flowers, My One Monthly Goal Finish for July

I finished quilting "Flowers," my One Monthly Goal for July.  Hooray!  I'm such a slow quilter so I'm happy it's done.
To finish, I quilted diagonal lines on the lower right block, quilted around and in the flowers of that block, and also quilted the leaves and flowers in another block or two.

After finishing the quilting I just kept going, cutting and attaching the binding.  I had hoped to also finish stitching the binding before the end of July but I know I won't get it done because I've only finished stitching most of one side.  I'll finish sometime this coming week.  I'll post more about this quilt when it's washed, dried, and completely finished. 

I'm looking forward to getting the next top ready to be quilted!

I'm linking this post to July OMG Finish Link-up at Elm Street Quilts.  Thanks for hosting, Patty and Anne-Marie.

    1. Thanks so much, Robin. I'm not sure why it took me so long to quilt this but it did, which makes it seem like a bigger accomplishment. I'm sure I'll enjoy watching progress on your version of this quilt when you begin.

  2. This is such a beauty, you're going to enjoy sleeping under all those flowers when the cold weather comes. Enjoy the last few stitches!

    1. Thank you, Pat. The batting in this quilt is 80 cotton/20 poly but it's puffier than most which, I assume, means more air will be trapped and therefore make a warmer quilt. I assume but I could be wrong.
