12 Quilts in ’12 — February Link Up!
Hello and welcome to the February installment of the 12 Quilts in ’12 Challenge! I’m hosting here on my blog, but Saf and Amy are playing along, too. We hope you will join in!
This month I finished a quilt top that had been sitting in my "What the hell do I do with these?" drawer. It is an old kit from Connecting Threads that I believe was an ambitious Christmas gift attempt years ago. Anywhoo...obviously it was never finished and I decided that it was my challenge. Thanks to Frieda, her pool table, basting spray and wonderous Juki sewing machine (that sucker is fast as greased lightning) I finished it!

| Bleeding Green! |
This was the big shocker. The tiny green cornerstone pieces bled through the back! I have never had green bleed. Pink, red, maybe. Of course I chose this one not to put the color catcher in the wash. Oh, crap, this means another quilt for us to use at home. It is really big and comfy, though.
OK time to tell me what you have finished for February, and link a picture of it below.
