Modern Prism Quilted Wall Hanging | Finished {or Not!} Friday Linky Party! from Busy Hands Quilts

Welcome to Finished {or Not!} Friday where you can share what you're working on and see what others have been making!

My Finish is a Modern Prism wall hanging!

Modern Prism is a quilt kit I purchased quite a number of years ago from Keepsake Quilting. It was well aged in my fabric closet and ready to be used. The pattern and kit make a 60" x 63" quilt, but my client wanted a 30" wall hanging, so I reduced the HSTs to make the requested size.

I cut the squares for a second quilt at the same time ...

My apologies for not posting Finished {or Not!} Friday last week; time just got away from me.

My Finish is a Freshly Picked table runner made from a charm pack! The charm pack and pattern were included in the September 2017 Sew Sampler Box. Wouldn't you say it had aged enough and was ready to be sewn?!? Yep, I think so too.

A charm pack and some yardage are all it takes to make this generously sized ...

Night Sky - An Upcoming Quilt Pattern | Finished {or Not!} Friday Linky Party! from Busy Hands Quilts

Welcome to Finished {or Not!} Friday where you can share what you're working on and see what others have been making!

On my design wall is a new quilt pattern called Night Sky. There are stars in the background and in the blocks, and sometimes my eyes can't see the dark blue stars. Isn't that kinda strange? This pattern includes two sizes - throw and queen - and the size difference is made from the size of the blocks. Look for this new quilt pattern in May.

Fabric is Aria by Kate Spain for Moda Fabrics. Click here to ...

Custom Quilting Elementary Lap Quilt | Finished or Not Friday Linky Party! from Busy Hands Quilts

Welcome to Finished {or Not!} Friday where you can share what you're working on and see what others have been making!

Another 2018 Finish is custom quilting an Elementary lap quilt for Andrea.

The adorable backing will likely be the backing for my daughter's graduation quilt. She loves math and plans to get a degree in it and become a college math teacher, so this kind of fabric makes her giddy! It comes in four different colorways too, but this fabric is getting very difficult to find since it's was released quite awhile ago.
