My first quilt... with binding!

Jul 10, 2009 at 04:39

So I have finally finished my first true quilt. I used binding, instead of going the cheater route and wrapping the backing fabric around to the front.

This little baby, which I have dubbed "The Little Suisse", is on it's way to a very special friend who is expecting her first child in just a week.

I sure hope it gets there in time.



I love the texture that the free hand quilting provided. It is a little wonky, but so are the blocks. I actually meant to do that. Really... I did.



A little detail to pull the quilt and binding together.



And backed it with a super cute woodgrain fabric.



I sure hope my friend enjoys it as much as I do!


Its gorgeaous, you stitching genious! Im so proud of your handiwork and I know Julie will be too! You are awesome!

Wow!! What a treasure the little one will have for keepsake. It's beautiful, you'll need to continue quilting!
