Queen Size Plus Quilt | Finished or Not Friday Linky Party

Welcome to Finished or Not Friday where you can share your finished {or not} projects!

My Finish is a queen size Plus quilt in grays and browns with a pop of brick red!  This is the first Plus quilt I've ever made.  I wrote the pattern Love Multiplied which is a Plus quilt set on point, but I had never made a traditional Plus quilt.

Some friends chose brown and gray as the colors for their wedding quilt and mentioned that their home also has an accent of brick red.  The brick red plus and binding create just the pop I was hoping they would.

The quilt came to life with the Maze quilting which took it from bland to ah-ha!

My new woven labels!

Quilting Books Under $4

We used antique blue canning jars as the flower centerpieces at my parents' 50th wedding anniversary celebration.  They're were super sweet with daisies and babies breath!  If you love blue canning jars, here's a deal for you.  Annie's has real Ball blue canning quart jars on sale for just $4.99 for a set of 4!  These are the real Ball jars!  I don't know how long the sale lasts or how much inventory they have, but I do know this is a great buy!

When looking through patterns at Annie's, I found all of these books less than $4!  These aren't single patterns either; they're actual, printed-in-color books!    I love the idea of quilts from 3 yards of fabric or 6 fat quarters.  

Annie's is also having a Super Sale with 30% off over 750 pattern downloads.  Use the keycode SOAKUP to be sure you get the discount.  {the discount likely doesn't apply to books on clearance}  This discount ends August 16th.

Let me know which books you pick up!
