Barn Lot Quilts....Quilting and Binding


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!

    1. I used a very large rusty grate to rust dye the background fabric...it is one of my favorite found objects to rust, it always comes out great!

      Many Thanks for your comment,
