Oh happy day! Springtime Stars is finally finished! It's been quilted for a month or so and just waiting for the binding. I put the last few stitches into the binding this morning. There really isn't anything nicer than a hand stitched binding, is there?Springtime Stars was Number 2 on my Power of Ten list, and I've replaced it with a new project called It's a Wrap! I have a couple of all day Christmas in July workshops coming up next week, and that's what I'll be working on. It was a project featured in Quiltmaker last December, and I wanted to make it, but I already had two other big quilts to get finished before Christmas.

What a great finish. And yes there is nothing like a hand finished binding.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your finish! It is a very pretty quilt :)
ReplyDeleteYes, and there is nothing like seeing a quilt actually on a bed, is there!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteSue...this is gorgeous! Love the colours, the design, and the quilting! I am partial to a hand stitched binding for sure!
ReplyDeleteSue, well done! It looks so good displayed on a bed!

ReplyDeleteSue it is absolutely gorgeous...I need to get those 5 borders on...will be nice when it is on my bed also....just so beautiful...love it....Spring looking ...my colors are similar so it makes me want to hurry....that is my middle name lately....
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these colors, Sue. My to-do list includes a quilt that's been quilted since last October, and I'm not telling when it was started....let's just say a LONG time ago.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Sue! Looks wonderful on the bed. Congratulations on another finish!
ReplyDeleteWhen I finished the binding on my patriotic sampler, it was such an exuberant feeling. I like finishing the binding by hand, too. I have such a calm feeling when I am stitching down binding. The best part is that when the last stitch is done, the quilt is finished! It looks beautiful on the bed. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! I love hand-stitching the binding. That's when it really begins to feel like a quilt. Love the way this one looks on the bed.
ReplyDeleteooooooooooh! It's finished! You did a beautiful job on that quilt! Can I have it? PLEASE !! LOL
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt. Love the border. I am a JudyL fan myself. The fans are the perfect quilting for this quilt.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat came out beautiful and looks stunning on your bed!
