I completed the machine quilting on
3 of the Barn Lot Quilts
Trying to keep the quilting design masculine
is tough for me......I am a feather girl all the way.
I threw a few triangles in with the wavy lines
and finished up the quilting on Thursday...
I started the binding work on Friday:
I cobbled bindings together with leftover
border strips...
I like the way the
quilting stands out in the borders
and blends in with the images
and rust dyed fabric
As always, the quilting shows up
nicely on the backing fabric:
Today is Sunday...
I am hand stitching 2 more bindings
and 3 hanging sleeves.
I feel like I am coming into the home stretch!
