I have no cross stitching to show this week because I've been on a mission. I spent all my free time finishing the hand quilting on the rings quilt. Yesterday I got the binding sewn on.
Today I am happily sewing it down. I hated the backing I choose but I like how it looks with the black binding,
My poor old hands will only let me do one side at a sitting so in three more days this should be a done deal. Maybe. Now I am looking at the space between the binding and the sashing and wondering if I should go ahead and stitch something in there too.

Some projects are never done...it is a beauty! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt. so pretty! I like your backing fabric.
ReplyDeleteMy mother was a hand quilter. She said if you had areas where you could put your fist on the quilt and it didn’t touch stitches then you needed more.

I like that backing and binding fabric. They complement the quilt well. You’ll be finished in no time.
ReplyDeleteI have been hand quilting lately and find it very enjoyable. I was wondering about whether to quilt the border so I will be curious to see what you decide. That is a very pretty quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing quilt. Never in a million years will I be able to piece like that!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Dee; I like the clean look of the space between the binding and the sashing.
The quilt is beautiful and all those colors are so cheerful! The binding and backing are perfect and they really compliment each other.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beauty! You are making excellent progress on it. Well done. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteIt's like a painting--it's hard to walk away!
