A finish for 13 UFOs in 2013

This is the wall hanging I finished for last month's 13 UFOs in 2013 over at Marti's blog. The fabrics used are Nancy Halvorsen's Star of Wonder line.  I have had it in my to do box for a number of years so it is lovely to now have it finished and also have one less UFO. A big thank you to Marti for encouraging us each to do this each month.
Finished wall-hanging is 21" x  49" .

Had to piece the backing so used strips from the scraps I had left.  Label in the middle.

I machine appliqued the pieces from the panel to a background made up of  2" strips. Here it is ready for some quilting.
Well must close as I am about to go and visit my great nephew who was born on Friday and of course his lovely Mum, my niece, Angela, in hospital.
Happy Stitching till next time.                   Hugs.........

    It sure is "baby" time. Hope you had a great visit with your niece and her new little one. Lovely panel. I have a Christmas one of Nancy's in my UFOs as well.
