Lizards

I have a confession...I had a UFO but now it is finished.  I made this Wheel of Mystery kit at a guild retreat a year ago and I wasn't happy with it so I just tucked it away with my fabric. ( I don't like the red fabric in it).  I found it last month when my sister B was visiting and I asked her if she wanted it...she said YES!  So I added the borders using my reject dyed backing fabric from my beach quilt and it worked really well.
B said it didn't matter how I quilted it so being the 'little sister' i quilted lizards on it!!  Yes I said lizards! See, lizards!
This is a really cute panto I have had for a year and I really wanted to quilt it.  I am glad I tried it and maybe it will remind B of her years living in Bermuda!!  Right B.
I bought his panto at Urban Elementz and it is called Lounge Lizards.

You did an excellent job quilting this terrific quilt...your sister is very lucky!! Besides, you got a UFO out of your studio and you got some new quilting practice in :) win-win!!

Kathy, I just love how you always add a special touch to everything -- and a lizard is surely a special touch! LOL! Your hand-dyed fabric looks perfect, as if you had made it for this quilt in particular. I hope you will tell me more about fabric dyeing next spring -- hint, hint! Happy Quilting, my friend!
