Backing and binding chosen.................


 


I didn't even have this top on my list of ones to finish because I thought I was going to add a border.  I made the decision yesterday to just finish it as is.  I chose a gray leaf print for the back and there is a pebble or mosaic type fabric on the left edge that I'm thinking will be the binding.  I need to carefully ditch quilt this one because I don't want quilting all over the top.  This batik top was made 5 years ago using the Hattie's Choice die from Accuquilt.  I have another top that also wasn't on the list and have chosen backing for it too.  I have 4 now lined up to quilt on my Pfaff.  The total number of tops waiting to be quilted is 17 and I'll be sending 2 to my longarm quilter this week.

Your Hattie’s Choice blocks made a gorgeous quilt! I especially like the border fabric you selected. Sounds like you have quite a bit of ditch stitching ahead of you but wow, what beautiful fabrics to be looking at while you quilt :- )

Very pretty! Looks like jewels! You are really cranking thru your tops to get them finished!
