Quilting done and binding attached! When thinking about how to quilt this, I realized I could use the seams as guidelines for rows of quilting kind of like using a pantograph. I decided on feathers and holly leaves. Here is some pratice "quilting" on my clear plexiglass. Hand sewing is not for me, so I machine stitch the binding to the back first and then sew really close the edge of the binding on the front. Here is a close up of sewing the binding to the front. I use the same thread in the bobbin that was used during quilting. It leaves a line of stitching along the back and I can live with that cause I know the quilt is done and that's what matters! A close up of the front and the back. I used So Fine thread in Petal on front and back. This is how the front binding looks: I hope you'll create something soon!

This quilt challenge that you issued on yourself is amazing. I would never have been able to do it myself, which is why I completely admire you. I can see that you are very passionate in what you are doing, and that you are trying hard to make things happen for yourself. I do wish that you can go and make this entertaining for you as well. I hope that it all matches up your energy, again, great quilt, buddy.
