I am working on finishing up some UFO's. Who isn't? That seems to be a never ending job if you have been quilting for a number of years. This was part of a Block of the Month class that I took at a local quilt shop years ago. I dropped out partway through for some reason so I didn't end up making the full 12 blocks. To be honest, I wasn't really thrilled with the colors and didn't want to make a whole quilt out of them. I pulled them out the other day wondering what I should do with them.
I decided to make a clover block from some extra BOM fabric I had purchased. Then I just sashed and bordered them with a tan and green clover print fabric from my stash to make them into a St. Patrick's Day wall quilt or large table topper. I think it turned out kinda cute. Off to the quilter, then I will bind it with the darkest green.
I like it quite a lot! Very wonderful for St. Paddy's Day!

Perfect for St. Patrick's Day! Even if you didn't like the colors before, the clover in the middle makes it look like "St. Patrick's Day Quilt" was your plan all along. Beautiful job!
