Done quilting, ready for binding
I finished quilting this quilt last night and finally found a print I like for binding. Click for a larger view. Notice the Kaffe fabric for the back too, from one of those 55% off sales of his older fabrics.

I love this quilt -- the colours, the richness and the sheer joy it seems to radiate!
ReplyDeleteWe cleaned (nested) all weekend...
ReplyDeleteWe filled up our trashroom...
Should have started sooner & Should have done it before we had such a grand excuse.
I truly admire what you have done with that glorious fabric ~ too exuberant? Never!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the binding process ~ it's a BEAUTIFUL quilt!
Yep, we're having Thanksgiving here, so I have been cleaning like a madwoman. You would think the house doesn't get cleaned except for company! I'm glad you can get some sewing time in. I am hoping to sneak in some as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous quilt. I love the intense colors. I am so thankful that we have Thanksgiving in Oct here in Canada. Hmm..that pun was accidental.
ReplyDeleteWhen my children would see me cleaning they'd ask "Who's coming over?". They knew the BIG cleaning was for special events only!
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt! Maybe I'll get to see it in person in Dec. Did the group set a date when you were at Diane's?
It is glorious! I love it, the backing too :)
ReplyDelete55% off kaffe?! That sounds too good to be true :D
Wonderfully joyous in it's rich colours.
ReplyDeleteWhat a grand quilt, exuberant and joyful. Good to see that you are finishing it, and again, you motivate me!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see this one on your "my current favorite" spot. It is Glorious with color. I went back for full view and it just makes me smile. Perfect back.

It is beautiful! Enjoy the holiday!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! I love it! You certainly have a flair for colour!
ReplyDeleteGreat backing, and on sale no less! I love the colors. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful, happy quilt! You've got a winner in that one. That should brighten up your winter!
ReplyDeleteDon't work too hard at the housework - it'll all need to be done again soon anyway.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Wanda, I remember what an integral role that Thanksgiving turkey played in the design of your new litchen. Don't work too hard on the holiday preparations. Enjoy your family's visit.
