I don't like to call any of my quilt UFOs. That implies that I have no intention of getting back to them. This quilt, however, was at the very bottom of the bin. And has been there for a while. Okay. Years. I don't know how many years, okay. Just a long while.

It looks pretty good next to my orange Adirondack chair, doesn't it? I have another confession: everything was neatly folded up together, top, backing, and...these large blocks. They didn't match the blocks on the top. I'd have liked to use them to make the top longer.
I have no idea what the devil I was thinking, so I decided to make a new plan. I stuck them on the back of the quilt. Now, there was enough of this green stripe fabric for the whole back, but I added the kooky blocks, which gave me extra of the green. So I did what any self-respecting quilter would do, I planned it so that I could use the wider stripe as binding. Cut on the 45 degree, it gives an interesting look to edge of the quilt.

Great finish. The greens do look good in this quilt.
Love seeing it hanging in the sunshine.
