My favorite kind of quilting, straight lines--well, straightish--but not quite perfect.
And the binding. I love binding. Even fussy, wiggly linen binding. You might think I'm crazy, I know many folks find this part tedious, but I just love putting a neat finished edge on something quilted. Do you love this part too?
The fancy thimble sure makes the job more enjoyable (thanks, Mom!).
The full reveal is coming soon!

Yes, I love binding too. Binding means it's almost truly done, and I love the hand sewing. Cool thimble.
Its looks really lovely, and it was really interesting to see you binding it i have yet to work that out when i finish my first ever quilt which is hexagons. Dee x
I love hand stitching the binding down at the end- it is the icing on the cake! But I sew my binding onto the front first and hand sew it down to the back! Your quilt looks beautiful!
I totally agree that binding is like the icing on the cake, great analogy!
That is actually the "back" side of this: http://retro-mama.blogspot.com/2011/01/things-that-make-me-happy.html so I guess both are like front sides :)
Dee, wow, a hexagon quilt! I would love to try that one day. Would love to see yours, too, in progress or finished!
it sure is pretty.....whatever it may be!
Yes, I do love binding a quilt. It's that last, final finishing touch. It feels so good to finish something. (It doesn't happen enough in my world...)
this is beautiful. I love the colours and such nice photographs.
