Just scraping in...with just a few sleeps to spare...
...here is my finished Some Kind of Wonderful quilt! I decided to go with a scrappy binding, both to add a bit more colour to my quilt, and to use up some more of my beautiful Strawberry Fields fabric :)
I quilted straight lines on either side of the seam lines of the sashings, and just inside the completed stitchery blocks.
I had considered adding stippling to the pieced blocks, but time (and patience LOL) wasn't on my side...I can always add it later if I get the urge (highly unlikely).
The finished quilt doesn't have an official home yet, but my youngest daughter seems to think it looks kinda perfect on her bed...
...she may have a point! Here is the full view...
...held up by very very tall son...he comes in handy sometimes :) I used some of my leftover squares to make a quilt label for the back...
So ...how are you going with yours? Personally, I would LOVE to take part in another stitch-a-long, but the word is that there won't be another one unless we see some more tops finished very very soon. Can you see me begging? PLEASE PLEASE put in a BIG effort over the next few days...I know you can do it!
