Friday Finish - Drab Toile

Remember this? Of course you do..I have shown way too many pictures of it by now that you must be tired of looking at it! This is the most simple quilt that anyone could put together..there is virtually no pieceing..just a large piece of fabric, two borders, and binding. But it took me three years, nearly, of playing around with it, and I am happy to say it is finished! My husband made me a wonderful quilt ladder for the hallway upstairs, so it's being put to good use. I did my very favorite meandering on it using a color that blends into the drab toile, black on the back, and then black for the outer border. Now I will finally have something to cross off my list.



You are so kind to drop by, and thanks to all who talked me through this one.

Beautiful Work, and big CONGRATS! :D I recently bought some "easter" Toile: garden-y bunnies in brown on a pink ground.

I love it - those are the colors of my bedroom now, though not hand made! And what's that pretty one rolled on the floor over there?
