And I need this time! This weekend I finished two quilts - binding, sleeve, and labels. The one in the photo is my MS Blues. I used a variegated/strip-pieced binding. I like the look of it but it is tricky to work with. It seemed to stretch more then even my bias binding and of course twice a seam ended up directly on a corner so I had "cut and paste" the binding. Of course that can happen with regular binding...but twice in one quilt? I don't think so....
Hope you all enjoy what is left of the holiday weekend....
Thrilling! This is a fantastic quilt, Sio. Wow. A great pattern to display you magnificent stash of fabrics.

ReplyDeleteThat is definitely a holiday. Saturday is my husband's golf day and my day to play.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I've been thinking about a courthouse steps quilt recently.
ReplyDeleteI love pieced binding but it is harder to avoid the seams falling on the corners.
Great quilt! I've thought of using strippy binding-thanks for the tips!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love that quilt! scrappy blues & yellow, right up my alley!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blue quilt...I just love all blue quilts, but this one is a big WOW! And to think you used your scraps to make this gorgeous quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful quilt. The colors are great, and the binding makes it even more special.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt and so worth the little fiddles you had to do with the binding.
