I have a slapdash approach to binding, and it would have saved time to be more careful from the start.

I loved your inspiration of your lilac bush and your straight line quilting added the perfect finish! Yes, I imagine sewing the binding on the sides of the quilt was a challenge. Did you try something different? The binding looks beautiful!

Before Christmas I was bravely sewing away on Allietare, 297 HSTs and plenty of time to think, and I asked myself what I would make for every colour. Once I thought of flowers, I realized I could handle every colour and joined in!<br /><br />I always say there are no bad colours, just bad combinations. BUT, little did I know that there was a "macaroni and cheese" crayon in the mix! Several of the guild ladies got it, and it truly was horrible. So, I am feeling luckier, I must say. :DMonicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596185668087389269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-51248231255254713442016-06-04T09:59:17.328-04:002016-06-04T09:59:17.328-04:00Thanks very much, Janie!
