SWEET TWEET QUILT FINISHED AT LAST

I finished my Sweet Tweet quilt top this past week.  I started it in July of 2023, a long journey.  Off to the quilter for sure.  

The last block #9, on the bottom right.  Just to get that border on now.

Just a simple border.  I ended up at 48" wide by 56" long.  The perfect size for over the buffet in the dining room.

I also got the quilt top together from last week's scrap strips post.  I am pleased with it.  Organizing my scraps into 4 1/2 and 2 1/2 inch strips sure made it easy to whip up a charity quilt top in no time at all.
