Weather Alert

 

You've seen this quilt, partially finished, when I did my book review of Quilter's Scrap Pantry. Well, it's done now, and I'm so happy with it that I put a hanging sleeve on it and hung it on a wall. 
Weather Alert may seem like an odd name for a quilt, but when I started working on it in the summer of 2024, we were getting so many weather alerts and advisories that I was just hunkering down in my basement studio, working on this quilt. And so that's what I decided to call it. 
All of the fabrics used in this quilt top have been used in previous quilts, though don't ask me to remember what each of them are. I can recall some of them, but not all. I will say that the flying geese border is mostly made of scraps from the Family quilts I made. I wanted to include them all in the same border. 
And even the binding is scrappy. I have amassed quite a collection of binding scraps over the years, and I was glad to be able to use some of them here. 

For the quilting, I chose a variegated thread and a pantograph called Jungle Party. 
As I said, this one I'm keeping.
