My inspiration came from Hubby's new job and his office being located in Beaune, France. (I still have my fingers crossed that I'll be going on the next trip with him)
There wasn't quite enough fabric to make a solid backing so I had to make a puzzled backing. But I was determined to use up all those little extra pieces instead of packing them away in a scrap box.
Now that I've finished this, I can play with my green fabrics and finish up my trees.
I already cheated and started playing with them. I'm really excited about this quilt too. But you'll have to come back Monday and see. I'm in the mood to empty another tote!
Wow, two finishes in two months. I'm thinking that my hormones are getting back to normal. That's the best news ever!
Take care, Brandie

Nice! I love the colors of French General always! Beautiful Work and a perfect first finish!
Your red French Fleur-de-Lis quilt is stunning and you did achieve the look of a shield. How wonderful if you get to travel to Beaune France. Congratulations on your finish! Stitching Bliss Dear...
It's beautiful! what a great way to start the new year. I love the little pints on the sides.
I love both the front and back. I've been to Beaune... It's been since 1990. Beautiful area. Great food. Great wines.
I always love French General fabrics (especially the reds). I like the curved border you put on it. I wouldn't have thought of it, but think it works really well with the Fleur de Li's.
Congrats! Aren't empty bins the best? Especially when they have been full bins for a long time. Perfect use of all those pesky scraps, and the back looks great, as does the front too! Way to start the year.
Wonderful! And the shape adds a nice design element
That turned out so pretty! Congrats on another finish!! And crossing my fingers for that business trip.
so pretty!
