| My first paintbox quilt is finished. I could have finished it a couple of days earlier but I had already put June on the label, and I liked the idea of finishing it on what would have been my parents wedding anniversary. Sixty-six years if they were still here. |

| The back was a little fancier than my normal ones. I've gotten to where I have backed several of my last quilts with 100 percent cotton sheets. This one is a Moda solid, and somehow it seems heavier to me. Maybe it's partly due to the piecing on the back. It seems to weigh a lot for its size. It hasn't been washed yet, so maybe that will lighten it up a bit. |

| Another embroidery machine label. No recipient's name on this one. I haven't decided what to do with it yet. There are a few possibilities. For a while it will live at my house, probably at least until I finish the other one, which will probably be this month. I've ordered some lavender solids for it, so it will be lavenders and purples instead of browns and tans. PS I gave this quilt Last night (June 10th) to my visiting teacher, Becky Thomas, who has been visiting me for over 4 years. |

Isn't it wonderful how such a simple idea can look so good with the right colours and fabrics. I love the back too.
Candace that is truly a masterpiece and I love the label also. Can't wait to see it in the lavenders which are among my favorite colors. Hope all is doing well on your homefront. I do believe things will improve on mine very soon. Hugs, Marie
I love this quilt, Candace! And the back design is super! Love it!
What a great finished quilt. The pieced back is especially nice. Such a simple pattern but with really spectacular results.
