TGIFF Party ~ Paper Lanterns

We made it!  Welcome to Friday!  And welcome to Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday!  The place to share your finishes of the week and everyone here celebrates with you.

My finish this week is a quilt that was inspired by a picture on social media that reminded me of those little Chinese Paper Lanterns...

After deciding on a non-traditional sized block using a jellyroll, it took no time at all to sew this together...

The blocks are 11" x 22".  I used 29 of the 40 2-1/2" strips in the jelly roll, including what I used in the scrappy binding.  I had to pull some lighter background pieces from my scrap bin, but they fit right in.  Finished size of this throw quilt is approximately 44" x 55".

And don't you think I should get some extra bonus points for having my quilting gloves match the fabric.  LOL!

I'll be referring back to my pattern book that I started out planning to use with this sweet jellyroll for ideas for another small quilt.

Now it is your turn... what finish are you celebrating this week?  

(I was asked to kindly note that this linkup is for finishes... but I'll just leave it up to you to define "finished". 😁   I know that I have several "finished" steps... the main part of a quilt top prior to adding borders, a completed top, a quilt that has the quilting completed... and then there is a finally finished quilt with binding.... like I said, I'll let you define finish. 😉)

Keep Piecing!
