Six down and Three To Go – BloomTopia is Finished

BloomTopia was a fundraising quilt along hosted by Fat Quarter Shop in 2020. Proceeds from the sale of the quilt kits and donations benefited the Make-A-Wish Foundation of West Texas.

I stitched along and finished the piecing… a while ago, got it quilted…a while ago, but I finished the binding over the weekend. The fabric collection is Summer Sweet by Sherri and Chelsi for Moda Fabrics.

Quilted with flowers

I did something new and attached the binding to the back first and used a decorative stitch to attach it to the front.



We’ve had nothing but cloudy, rainy and cooler days since I finished the binding. I apologize for the poor quality photos. I promise to take better ones when the sun finally comes out.

We also celebrated my Mom’s 82nd birthday this past weekend. Her request was a steak dinner, prepared by my hubby, and her favorite coconut cream pie, prepared by me.

She wasn't completely happy with me taking this photo
since she wasn't "Flossied Up" I think she is beautiful
without her makeup and jewels!


I also did some cross-stitch finishing, and I’ll share that with you on Friday.  Enjoy the remainder of your week.


Linking up with Jennifer, The Inquiring Quilter, for Wait Loss Wednesday.


See you soon,
