One Monthly Goal – March Finish
March goal met! Which was to finish the Chopsticks quilt top. I did that plus pieced the back!
I’m really liking this top now with the added oranges!
And what about this back!?
I’m sure you can tell that the center strip are the triangle pieces cut off the sides to square up the top. The light print and dark green print were both used in the top. The orange floral was just a perfect match to finish up the back, and was the end of a bolt – meaning sale! from the LQS. I usually don’t make symmetrical backs, but for some reason this one went in that direction. I’m planning to practice several different free-motion quilting motifs in the triangle blocks.

Way to go! And all those lovely colors and prints. What a beauty.

this is really wonderful, and the orange solids are enough to give the other fabrics a background to contrast against. The back is such a good way to use those side pieces.
