Snowflakes in July, Part 2...

After I took a good look at my last post, I remember why this project became a UFO in the first place:  it was too dark. For me, anyway. At the time, I wasn't sure what to do about that and didn't have time to speculate on a solution (other things to work on, of course), so it got packed up and launched into the black hole of UFOs in my kitchen studio.

When I saw the whole thing together last week, as happy as I was to have it complete, it was still bugging me. So I brightened it up a bit a couple borders, found a cute backing (Smores, M & My Sisters for Moda), and quilted it. Bound with a dark plum solid found on sale at Ikea for $2 a yard, I think it frames it out very nicely.

I knew if I stopped at any point, it would head back toward the UFO pile, so I forged ahead -- gotta keep that momentum going, right?

Much better! And another finish for July!
