First March Finish

Yes, I have my first finish for March. Here is my mini quilt made for the wire hanger. The center square is a embroidery design by Kathy Schmitz. I don't have any decorations for March/St. Patrick's Day so I thought this would be fun to make. The embroidery piece has been done for a couple of years.
 I looked through my Quiltmaker 100 blocks magazine for ideas and decided to use this block by Felicity Miller. I think it frames the embroidery perfectly.
I am linking up to Finish Fridays at Richard and Tanya Quilts.
I am also linking up to Such a Sew and Sew. 

 With Passion,
Carrie P.

It's terrific, a ufo finish and in time for St. Patrick's day. You should have a mug of green beer to celebrate!

I love it, Carrie and thanks for the inspiration. I bought one of those table top hangers and have been using simple borders but now I see the possibilities!
