Finish It Up Friday ~ Hands 2Help 2016 #2

This finish is especially sweet since I also get to cross this off my big UFO list for the year! The blocks for this quilt came from a block exchange in my local guild last year.    I used the last of this Ikea print for the backing.

Tadaaa!!!


This quilt is heading to Happy Chemo as part of the Hands2Help 2016 challenge hosted by Sarah at Confessions of a Fabric Addict.
