Do you ever find the last stages of completing a quilt are bittersweet? I love love love to sew binding onto my finished quilts. I also love the feel of a warm and crinkly quilt fresh from the dryer, but being at the end, well, means being at the end.
I have really enjoyed making Allison's scattered pattern.
I have also been doing a little pattern testing and can't wait to show the finished quilt. When I do, there will be a nice little giveaway, so be sure and stay tuned.
Hi! Sure do! I love hand stitching my quilting binding,but know when I'm finished>the quilt is finished! Most of my quilts go to a Baby Quilt Charity,so I console myself that someone out there will love my quilt! Thanks for sharing!

It is bittersweet. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan of sewing binding onto large quilts though, I have to admit. But I do so dearly love a finished project!!
Can't wait to see what you're testing :) Love the fabrics!
I know what you mean about the end being bittersweet-- it's one of the reasons I started hand quilting, to make everything last a little longer!
ReplyDeleteI felt that way with my last quilt. I so enjoyed working on it. Now I'm on the several other projects that I'm enjoying just as much.
ReplyDeleteOh I have stitch envy, your hand quilting is so beautiful and neat. And looking forward to seeing what you're testing with those lovely fabrics :-)

Love the backing and binding on this quilt and all the white spaces mixed in with the bright trangles! Another beautiful project:>)
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely hand quilting! And your fabric colors with the white are some of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI love the hand quilting, and I love love the sneak peak of the quilt pattern :)
ReplyDeleteScattered is looking mighty pretty. :) Can't wait to see the pattern you're testing.
ReplyDeleteYour hand quilting looks great! Do you draw the lines first?
