Companion Throw

When Maggie brought over her Mom's clothes for the memory quilt, she asked for a queen sized quilt for herself and a "throw" for her sister.I have been working on the quilt, I have the pieced borders on and the backing fabric bought, it is just waiting to be pinned.  You know how I dislike pinning a quilt!  Soooooooo.... I put that project on hold, and I have been working on the throw for Becky!  As I worked on making blocks for Maggie's quilt, I would make a similar block for Becky's throw, so most of the blocks were already done.  I sewed the blocks together without sashing, and found a 4 yard piece of purple fabric in my stash for the backing. (this is left over from the backing of Kaylyn's Kaleidoscope quilt).  I pulled a light purple fabric from my stash as well for a small border, and a piece of funky purple fabric with electric teal lines for the border.  I am now almost done with the quilting of the throw.  Smaller projects go a lot faster!!  The throw is 3 blocks by 4 blocks and measures @ 42" x 54".  Here is a picture of it:
