I finished hand stitching the binding at Leeds MQG meeting on Saturday and handed over the quilt. This meant that my usual washing line photo is with the unfinished binding.
I included sections of the pink in the binding, but didn’t bother with working out where they would land. I was lucky and there was only one piece that needed restitching so it didn’t run round a corner.
The quilting is all straight line quilting using a walking foot. The stitching on the white sections was using a pale grey Aurifil 40wt and the teal and pink areas were quilted using Aurifil 50wt as the colours were a better match from my stash of threads.
(I thought you might also like to see what happens when you're in the middle of quilting and leave a neatly folded quilt on the table and the visiting cat decides to call in.)
