Peppermint Wishes: Quilt Complete

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!
