Lovely!! It's amazing how blocks that look great by themselves are sewn together and not look so hot but when the edges are trimmed and the binding is finished, it becomes gorgeous!! I think beginners need to know that - they become disheartened when they don't like their quilt in the middle stages. Anxious to see the black hat/box again.
I love this. I really do. Yet another Lynne masterpiece.
a very nice finish ;-)
Love it, just shines!
I completely agree about the transformation that takes place when the excess batting/backing are trimmed way ... I love that moment.
(Have you thought about stitching the upper edge of the sleeve in place when you attach the binding? Saves one width of hand stitching...)
Julie, that's exactly how I do it.
That thin purple border is an amazing touch. Exactly the right amount of pop without screaming "Look at me!"
It is a magical transformation when it becomes a quilt instead of a project. It's my favorite part of quilting!
This is looking so great! I was surprised, at first, at the size of the quilt, but then thought about how free-piecing is always bigger than I think it will be. It's those little photos on the computer that makes me think they're small, I guess!
I've enjoyed watching this quilt come together - it's turned out just lovely. Way to go, Lynne!
