Binding chosen.................


When I saw my binding choices from yesterday in daylight I decided the rosy one was leaning toward purple.  I went through 2 stacks of batiks and came up with these two new choices.


This one was the winner.  I named this quilt shimmering fish and the setting triangles look like water ripples.  I decided this aqua and green batik would carry that feeling of water the best.


I got it sewn on and started the hand stitching.  Some of the setting triangles are blue but none of them made it into this photo.  I will spend the day today finishing the binding.  

I used the Hunter Star die to cut the pieces for the block in this quilt.  





The Kaffe strippy quilt got pressed and the right side edge trimmed.  It is 47.5" x 67".  I will look for a flannel for the back after I finish the binding.

That is the perfect batik for your binding - so pretty! The strippy quilt looks great. You mentioned that you use "quality" flannel for your backs - do you purchase it online?

I knew you’d find the perfect binding fabric, and you did. And a perfect name for it too.

Perfect binding fabric and colors! Your excellent stash has come through for you again!
Your piano keys quilt has zoomed to near completion in record time. How do you do that? Have fun choosing a flannel backing and binding fabric!
DH is having an ECHO cardiogram in about 2 hours. Fingers crossed all is well.
It's no spend today - be the resistance!

Hugs!!
