I basted some more on the colorwash I showed yesterday and then I decided to quilt this quilt. I decided not to add a 2" red border to it and just get it finished.
I did a medium meander with light gray thread. The binding will be the lighter of the 2 red prints. I have it trimmed so hopefully the binding will be finished today.
So beautiful. There is something about red quilts that really draw me to them. I have been eyeing the red French General fabric at Connecting Threads, but am resisting because I have plenty of fabric at home.
This is really a stunning quilt, just the right red and just the right grey, so perfect together ! I had forgotten about this quilt and I'm glad you brought to our attention again. (^._,^)
There are 2 "sugar rush" moments in quilting: picking fabric and the last binding stitch. You are on a sugar high lately with all these finishes!

You are well on your way to another finish. Nicely done! The quilt doesn't look like it really NEEDED a border, anyway.
ReplyDeleteA very appealing combination of pattern, color and fabric!
ReplyDeleteYet another gorgeous quilt. Love the fabric too.
