Binding Toes in the Sand


My quilt frame is empty, I finished quilting Toes in the Sand on Monday night.


The binding is on.


I had to piece the backing. Not sure what happened. I needed five yards of fabric, I had only three (?). 


Luckily I had HEAPS of fabric left over. Probably enough to make a second quilt. 


So tonight I am stitching the binding down. Quilting this has been a great way to wind down of an evening. I have been madly trying to make lots of progress with the course I enrolled in last November. 


If I power stitch, I might have it finished by tomorrow night and have an OPAM finish for February. If not, it's coming on retreat with me Friday.

  3. Fantastic, what a great quilt. Love the quilting detail on the coloured triangles. Hand quilting is great relaxation.....and sewing down the binding is too.
