January UFO Completed

So excited to show my first finished quilt for 2018! It's amazing to me that I was able to finish the quilt in January considering I was sick for half of the month.
This is my variation of the Magnolia mystery quilt hosted by Cheryl who blogs at Meadow Mist Designs. The project kicked off in July last year and the final step was posted in December. My Magnolia quilt is an octagon shape and measures 39" across.
The quilting was done on my regular sewing machine and is a swirly free motion design. The binding fabric and most of the backing is from the "Mama Said Sew" fabric line by Sweetwater.
Thanks to Cheryl for a fun mystery quilt! There will be a mystery quilt parade sometime in February and I'll post the link when it's parade time. It's always fun to see the many unique variations of one pattern.
Linking up to One Monthly Goal January Finishes, where Patty is showing her finished Magnolia quilt!

    Good job. I caught a bug now. My OMG is destined to a non-finish this month. Not a good start to the year. The Magnolia quilt is pretty. Enjoy!

    The backing is a very interesting piece of fabric. Works well with the fabrics used on the front of the quilt.

    Love the octogon shape! Will it be a table topper? The yellow really sings with the black and white :)

    Job well done Kathy! Hope you are not dealing with the left over cough - Mine is going away - had it since 13 Dec. Glad you are doing better - Love the colors. You and I seem to like the same colors!

    This is just too cool! I love the octagon shape, I would never in a million years think to shape the quilt like that. I love it!
