Remember this quilt ...

... which I made for the blog hop for Kim's book, Scrap Basket Sensations, last year?  The quilt in the book is called Island Chains, but I named mine Friendship Chains.

I have now, finally, finished it.  So here it is, in all its glory.







Here is a close-up, so you can see the quilting too.  I chose to do an edge-to-edge pattern, since I felt that the pattern was so intriguing that I did not want to distract from it by doing quilting that was too intricate.




This one shows the back and the quilting.  I really love the backing fabric too.
