Basket Weave Finish

This quilt has been a long time in the making.  This is a do.Good Stitches quilt of blocks I requested starting last Fall.  We had some turn over in our group right about then and so I didn't get a bunch of blocks, and the quilt was going to be tiny, so I asked everyone to make another set of these blocks back in February.  It turned out so bright and cheerful.

 I wanted the back to be just as cheerful, so I chose some of this citrus fabric from my stash. 

 I continued with my large stipling for the quilting since the rail blocks are perfect guiding lines.  I chose a bright green thread for the stitching.  I usually stick with neutral, but it matched so well with the limes on the back I couldn't resist. 

My goal was to get this done before the school year ended, because my quilting typically comes to a halt once all the kids are out of school for the summer.  I just have some blocks left to make for the month of May and then I'll have everything done that needs to happen before summer hits.
