The plan for October was to finish adding the borders to Cabins and Fans.

| Cabins and Fans: Self designed |
That was finished pretty early on in the month. I'm really happy with how this project worked out. The harder part of the Octoer OMG was to finish piecing the backing. Vacation, a birthday party and a wedding made it a bit tough to get back into the sewing room to finish up the second half of this month's goal A weekend at home meant there was time to get all the mearsurements, cutting and sewing all done. Even so, I only beat the deadline this month by just a few hours. I'm good with that.
The backing is stitched up, but it still needs a good pressing. It's hard to tell from this photo, but the backing is actually a purple print from Connecting threads.
Fingers crossed getting both the top and the backing finished means I'll have a new finish soon.

Nope, you can't tell that the purple backing is also a houndstooth print. Your top is amazing. I love how you put colors together. This top just sings!
that quilt top turned out perfect!
Good job!
Cabins & Fans is fabulous! What a gorgeous design. I love that purple houndstooth -- two of my favorites in one print!! :)

Cabins & Fans is spectacular! Wow!!! That purple houndstooth looks ideal for the backing.

It doesn't matter when the goal was met; congratulations for getting it done. I really like prints that pull you in closer like the backing. I am excited to think this one is closing in on completion!
You have accomplished so much in the Design and Colors for your Cabins and Fans! It is beautiful! Hugs
Oh ma goodness, Kate. This one is spectacular, jaw-droppingly gorgeous. It glows!!! I have a sliver of that purple from CT, somewhere.
