It didn't take long to finish the binding (by machine) yesterday. We had some hefty storms again so my machine was unplugged most of the afternoon. There were tornadoes north and south of me. This was one time I was happy the storm split and didn't touch us.
The rain didn't finish until 8 p.m. so I don't know the total for yesterday. The dew point started dropping (from 73) after 8 and was down to 60 by bedtime. Now we will have some cooler and drier weather for a while.
This quilt finished at 45" x 62.5". All of it is Marcia Derse fabric, including the back and binding. A friend who realized she wasn't going to use this backing fabric, sent it to me and it was the right amount for this quilt.
I die cut all of the pieces for the quilt top.
Now it is time to figure out what is next. I'm waffling on the border fabric for the William Morris TAW quilt, wondering if it should be a lighter color than the red I already have. I can always use it on the back.

Yay, you finished and it’s such a vibrant quilt. Glad the storms went around you and you can enjoy some less humid weather.
It turned out so pretty!
Just a lovely quilt finish, Wanda--very warm vibes...;)))
Glad to hear the tornadoes bypassed you!! We had one little 2 minute cloudburst--no measurable rain as yet...

A good AC sewing day for me...hugs, Julierose

I really like the pattern and golden glow this quilt has. The backing and binding couldn’t be any better. Great first finish for June.
Absolutely stunning. And the backing was made to be used with that top.
MD fabrics are magical! I love this quilt. I'd appreciate it if you would send some of that rain to Virginia.
Love it! Not sure how much rain we got, I'm relieved the power outage was only a couple of hours.
those are such pretty colors in this quilt. I'm glad the bad storms didn't get you!
Woohoo! The first finish for the month! Love the backing fabric!
Beautiful quilt! Love the fabrics.
Another stunner and has me thinking of a beautiful sunny day with those wonderful yellow squares.
