Binding is done



The binding is finished on this darling floral quilt.  I started this quilt in a class in 2009.  It has been quilted for a while.  It was one of the quilts in my pile of quilts that need binding.  I pulled it out a couple of months ago.  I finally trimmed it and cut binding for it.  I applied the binding and started hand sewing down the binding onto the back last week.  It is now going into the "done" pile.  This coming spring I will hang this quilt up on the wall.  I have wanted a floral quilt to display during springtime for years.  Isn't it great that this one is purple?  This purple springtime quilt will be a perfect fit for my seasonal wall quilt collection.  I still need a "winter" quilt to round out my wall quilt collection.  I usually keep up my Christmas quilt until it is time to hang up a red/white/blue quilt.

This "done" feeling is so wonderful.  I love it!  I feel that I have made progress this summer with my quilt making/finishing.  Now if I could just not purchase more fabric than I use up I will be really happy!

Happy Quilting

I love this wallhanging! The lavenders and purples are so pretty! Isn't a good feeling to get our projects finished.

Ohhh I love love love love it - and isn't it the grandest feeling to finish? I love binding because it means I am so near the end.

I have two big quilt tops at the long armer's - she is machine basting them and I will hand quilt - that will keep my little old hands busy this winter.

I really like this wallhanging. It will make a great spring decorating statement.

I love that! Whenever I see morning glories, I want to try to duplicate that in a quilt – and I tried it once, but failed dismally. Yours is so very nice!

A very lovely quilt. Reminds me of the hollyhocks I have seen in my parents yard. Congratulations on yet another nice finish.
