i've been stitching

We didn't take the dog for a walk last night, I sewed instead. And today again I stole a few hours. 


And finished my patchwork prism top!


I'm so in love with it!  These are all cherished prints and the way light and dark skips across the top seems to make them even more vibrant.  I'm so glad I stuck with this one rather than just adding it to the mental list or pile of ufos!


As I said before, I went smaller, cutting my triangles from 3½" strips.  The top measures about 26" by 22", so it won't be covering anyone's bed but should be perfect as a wall hanging.

Now I just have to baste it so I can do some hand quilting tonight.  Yay!
