finish #5 for March....

I finished the binding last night while watching TV.  I really like this bright cheery quilt.  It is about 52" x 59".   I showed the backing fabrics a couple days ago, 3 strips of Kaffe fabrics with gold/orange in all of them.







In this close up you can see that even though I used a busy print for the binding, it reads as a solid from a distance.  If you go back a couple days you can see how I choose bindings.

I baked 2 batches of cookies and finished cleaning up the basement yesterday.  I'm expecting the art quilters group today.  It is going to be cold but no snow storm.

  12. I too love this quilt. It looks like a precise basket weave on screen. And as always, a "Wandaful" finish.
