Brown Bag Quilt Finish!

Wild isn't it? From the four fabrics that Paula sent me..................
and seven additions from stash plus the backing, and my one allowed purchase, a green fat quarter, these 24 paper pieced blocks emerged. There are only a few scraps left of the challenge fabrics, and little left either of those I took from stash.
You cn see this block has four different fabrics I was so short of fabric at the end, wanting to make 24 blocks for a usable sized quilt, 40.5 "x 63".
Even the backing needed an extra strip to make it large enough. Even the binding is scraps!
The label is already made and attached, not something I usually do right away!
It is custom quilted with feather wreaths in the center of the circles and leaves and wavy lines in the "spikes".
This "Rainbows" thread by Superior for the top and a neutral Bottom Line thread also from Superior, in the bobbin.
I am most happy to have this project finished and now I can move on!
I discovered today that another baby quilt is needed.......

Good Job!! And how 'challenging' of you to piece a circular seamed block. I love the scrap look - if you add enough fabrics it goes together!! LOL!!
