"On Ringo Lake" top complete!

Betty loves the quilt top! 
      Yesterday I sewed the final few long seams together to finish the "On Ringo Lake" top.  What a great experience to participate in this mystery quilt with thousands of other quilters worldwide!  My precision in sewing always needs work, and this was a perfect project for that.  I am not certain that the top will lay perfectly flat, but the blocks did fit together well.  The finished top is 75 wide by 91 long (a quickie check with a tape measure), so it will be a bit smaller after quilting and washing! Because it is big, it is hard to get a good picture of the whole thing!

Even the trusty quilt holder can't quite get the whole quilt top to show!
       I was working on some art pieces this weekend, using leftovers from a class project.  I mounted one piece (not yet titled) to see how it would look.  I realized I used my "On Ringo Lake" colors in this!

     Enjoy the beginning of September!  
Take care,
Gretchen

  1. It’s beautiful! I can’t remember. Did they provide the fabric or did you choose this colorway?
