Whew!

I'm so happy to have my Front Porch quilt finished before tomorrow's bus trip! 
First of all: sorry for the terrible photos!
My quilt holder needs longer arms and we both needed a shadier spot to take pictures!
Front Porch was my July UFO to get finished. It measures 72" x 94".
It's a Jan Patek pattern and was really a fun one to work one.
  
Of course it was the Dresden Plate bike that attracted me to the pattern--so cute! 


This is the back--it's a beautiful shade of blue--not the gray (that's the sun shining through) as it appears in the photo. I've had this fabric in my stash for several years but was a bit short to do the entire back, which was okay--it gave me the opportunity to use up some leftover strips of Front Porch fabric from a Fat Quarter Shop Jolly Bar that I had purchased for this quilt. 

My label is a block that I had started for the front of the quilt but didn't it make the cut.
Now I'm off to pack my bag for the bus trip!

  2. Good finish. I like the label but I think you should have made another of those unicycles for a label. LOL! I would have been pulling out my hair doing two of those. Well, maybe once you have one figured out, the next would be oh so easy.
