I'm back to join everyone at Quilty Girl Alycia's for "Finished Or Not Friday" with a quick follow-up to last week's post.

The fabrics in the tin were enough to make the whole top for this small wallhanging they named "Faithful". I lucked up on coming across someone selling just the fabric set from this same tin so used some of those to make the backing and the binding. The label square came with the full kit. To help bring the backing to size, I added a Paisley and a Polka Dot print from a more recent M&S line called "Union Square".
This little quilt is just the right size to swap out with the "Americana Lone Star" I have hanging up now and I can enjoy this from now through Labor Day.
I eventually hope to follow in the footsteps of the bloggers at "Occasional Piece & Quilt" and "One Stitch at a Time" and continue the process of making up the other Frivols tins I have. I also remember seeing a post somewhere showing how to line the empty tin to make a decorative storage box.

I had plans to work on some cross stitch projects as part of celebrating the country's 250th birthday. I had finished stitching one and posted it for July 4th and now it's "fully finished"!
This is the "Peace" design from Susan Ache's "Summer Memories" book that features quilt and cross stitch projects. I love that I was able to use some scraps leftover from making a QOV top a few months back to finish up this little pillow.
However, the second project is still very much in slow progress:

I was surprised to find this one a bit of a struggle for me as I had thought I've done enough projects on Evenweave to be more comfortable working with it. Well, I'll keep plugging away and eventually it'll get done!
As always I look forward to seeing what others have in progress or completed this week for "Finished Or Not Friday" at Quilty Girl Alycia's!
