A finish..........

I finished hand sewing the binding last night.  It was really easy to sew this one compared to a batik binding, about 2 hours less time involved.  The quilt ended up close to 70" x 90".  All of the fabrics are Marcia Derse fabrics, lines from many different years. 

I also cut 2 backings for 16 patch quilts and got the seam sewn in one of them yesterday.  I cut the batting for one of them a couple months ago so it is time to finish another one..... or two.

I love letting my eye wander over this type of quilt. I can see diamonds, and trees and mountain tops. And then I get to the individuals fabrics....love the collection. Great finish!

Wow, Wanda. I like how you broke it up with the horizontal strips and added borders at top and bottom. The fabrics and the pattern all work together to make this a really great quilt!
