I spent this morning going crossed eyed, watching that walking foot clatter up and down, in the nicest possible way.
Don't be surprised if you can't see the quilting. I decided that I liked the Terrain fabric and the HST layout so much that I didn't want to have any obvious quilting, so it is all in the ditch. You can vaguely see the quilting pattern on the back a little more clearly.
After all my deliberation about what to do with borders and binding, I forgot all about it when I received the backing and basted the layers together. So I just went with navy binding and left it at that.
Despite appearances to the contrary, it is not yet finished. There is still a fair amount of this to do.
But I do feel like I accomplished something today. This is good.

Is someone's Blog celebrating their FIRST Birthday this Wednesday? Hope you have a bottle of bubbly standing by. You've done a great job Ms. Super Blogger!
ReplyDeleteOoh, lovely quilt! I think your quilting is just right for it too.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is looking wonderful! It is always nice to sit and finish the binding in such a nice peaceful way, especially after all the noise of machine quilting. I can't wait for the Ta Da pictures.
ReplyDeleteOoooh gorgeous! Such a great quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt and I think your quilting choice is spot-on.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great, I'm quite jealous I have a terrain layer cake waiting to be baked into something but I can't decide what!
ReplyDeleteHappy blog birthday for wednesday.

ReplyDeleteOh, it's looking beautiful! My description of finishing a quilt with hand sewing the binding is like the exclamation mark at the end of a sentence! We'll both be celebrating on Wednesday I see!

ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful. I actually like hand sewing the binding, hope you will enjoy it, too. And if not especially, then let it finish quickly :)

It's looking great! I wish i could get my 'in the ditch' to stay in the ditch! :o)
ReplyDeleteI think the binding looks wonderful. Great choice. The whole quilt is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind hand stitching the binding down on quilts. Its very relaxing.

I love the sewing the binding on by hand bit - one of my favourite bits of the process (after piecing!), so looking forward to the full photo shoot very soon.
