My Guy had lots of vacation time, so he took off last week and we headed to Eureka Springs, AR. We had much bigger plans for vacation this year, but then a family wedding and a potential refinery project hijacked the dates we had planned to go. We've been to Eureka Springs several times. We did a lot of shopping, hiking, and eating out. I took two quilts to bind and finished one of them.
My version of Rhododendron, the Bonnie Hunter 2021 mystery quilt, is finished. I've named my version Azaleas since I used purple rather than the suggested pink.
I used the dark purple, along with a floral print for the backing.
Trudy did a fun floral design for the quilting.
The binding is the same purple Batik used for the border. I'm happy with my version. No immediate plans for this quilt, it will probably be given as a gift at some point.
Five finishes so far for this year, four of which were UFOs. My list still shows 20 UFOs that need to be finished. I'm hoping for at least one more finish this year. There are 5 quilt tops waiting for quilting, hopefully I'll get off to a good start with finishes next year.
Linking up with Design Wall Monday and Patchwork & Quilts.

Lovely quilt. And, even better -- it's finished. And, now, on to the next one -- or so it seems to me as I finish one project I move on to the next right away. I'm also trying to finish UFOs for the most part.
good to get binding done on one - I should have brought one along when I went on vacation
