It may be obvious, but it looks like this will be my final finish for 2016.
This finish is the second of two Canada 150 quilts designed for the upcoming 150th Anniversary of Canada. The Sesquicentennial anniversary.
You can see the baby size version here in last week's post.

When it came time for quilting, I went with my usual organic wavy lines. I used green thread, both on top and in the bobbin. The green blends well with both the background and the backing. And yet, did not stand out like a sore thumb against the white polar bear and seal pups.
The Canada 150 design is available in two sizes.
Directions are included for the 40" x 50" baby quilt size
AND for the 66" x 66" lap quilt size.
