Yes here is the picture of my lovely finished quilt. This could be called the procrastination quilt as after years I finally put the blocks together and pinned it out for quilting. Then it has sat again as how do you quilt it when there is so much handstitching and machine applique. Trying to work out a pattern just about did my head in.
So I finally stitched in the ditch. Then I auditioned bindings and opted for the best of the lot. It was not what I had in mind, but I could not find any dark grey in my stash, so in my attempt not to buy more fabric I used a stash material. Oh dear I just don't like it.
I have read before of people binding their quilts and then unpicking and putting on a new binding and at the time thought they were daft in the head. I would NEVER do that....... sigh....... last night I unpicked the binding!!!!!
So here it is finally ready to bind. Hopefully it wont sit in the never never pile again.

Oh Karen. Its just gorgeous. I love how you incorporated the arrow pattern in the binding. All your quilts are lovely.

ReplyDeleteLovely quilt! Hope you find the perfect binding for it.
ReplyDeleteHave you thought of using the fabric you used in the skinny border around the patchwork center??? Love the quilt... Hope you find a binding that makes you happy! I try to NEVEr say NEVER! lol Kathi
ReplyDeleteThat was exactly the fabric I wanted but I did not have any left. Have bought something similar. Thanks for your suggestion, good to know that someone else thinks grey is good for the binding
DeleteI love your quilt, there are so many pretty blocks. Good luck with your new binding.
