TGIFF - The Lorax Version

I'm losing internet access for 10 days - or rather, it will be unpredictable, so I won't be able to comment on finishes... So I'm handing over the hosting to ... well, head on over to TGIFF and find out where!  But I DO have a finish. The Lorax. :)

I did a fair bit of hand quilting in my Aurifil variagated and a couple of others - including a Lorax rust colour (2145) and some white wool Aurifil.

I did a bit of free-motion machine quilting around the words on the white blocks.
See the difference?

 I bound it in red - Kona tomato I think, which I also used on the back.


 I've just got some threads to snip and then I'm done!
Head over to TGIFF and see the other finishes!

    What a fun quilt! We saw the movie, but I haven't picked up any of the fabric yet.

    I love the quilting on that one! I just bought some Dr Seuss fabric, but not the Lorax, and am going to figure out a pattern to do for my newest nephew.
