Hive1, 2023, Finished Quilt

Hello Hivemates!

Meet "AREA 51". 😊

(60" x 70")

I can't believe, I actually finished a StashBee Quilt within the same year!

The decision to gift it to my Godfather to his 70th Birthday was a good incentive 😁.

Thank you all for sewing for me! (And Marie - Thank you for crashing!!) 

This year, was the first time, that one block didn't made it in the post to me 😢. (Molli, I tried to re-create your block as closely, as I could match fabrics from my stash to the pictures you posted.)

And yes, you are all mentioned on the Label. However, this time not by name - as I had to write the Label in German (for my Uncle), it got already quite big, as it is...

I fell for the backing fabric, and might use the same again, if I can get my hands on it. (It's sooo soft!)

This is the first full-scale quilt, I used home-made Spray-Baste. Oh my gosh, what a revelation! That's the way forward for me, no more aching back and bleeding fingertips!

Now, that the pictures are taken, the quilt goes in the wash and is then ready for me to deliver in person at the end of this month. Let's just hope, it get's plenty of use.

Thank you all again, and happy sewing,

Rita
