I got the binding done on this one last night. The six blocks were left over from a quilt I made some years ago. They seemed to go with the dotted stripe, at least color-wise, but were a little out of scale. After some years marinating in the UFO pile, I got the idea to cut them in quarters, and mix them up.
For the back, I found a print in my stash with coordinating colors, jungle foliage and elephants. It was too busy and too nice to cut up for piecing, so this was a good use for it.
What a good way to use the fabric for backing! I looks great!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! on finishing the quilt just under the wire. Or should that be just before the ball dropped?? Anyway... Happy New Year!
