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 turned out really nice. The window box was just perfect for your embroidery. Hugs

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

    Wonderful piece and I like how you have the little stand to change them each month.

    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!

    It's lovely - and you did a great job setting your embroidery.
