My secret sewing project is now finished and given away. You may remember seeing it like this when I was hand stitching the binding down. This quilt was being made for my friend Eileen’s older grand-daughter. I had previously made a piggy quilt for her younger sister.
Binding time
I had a pile of bright blue and pink floral squares, so I made a whole lot of pin wheel blocks, adding fabrics from my stash, pale pink, blue, cream. The pinwheel blocks were then sashed in white and I bordered the quilt in bright peacock blue.
And here is the quilt, hanging outside, blowing in the breeze.
The quilt was commercially quilted using a butterfly and flower pantograph, nice and girly. Being a large king single quilt, it was too big for me to quilt at home. I do hope she likes her new quilt.

Oh my, this quilt is a most beautiful finish, Jenny. Love those pretty prints and the butterflies flitting everywhere in the quilting is sublime. Such a gorgeous quilting pattern.
Jenny, your quilt is awesome! I love the butterfly quilting.
Beautiful quilt: I love the pinwheels and the fabrics.
Another beautiful quilt. I don't know how you are so productive. We have gone from a nice warm summer to loads of rain and now we're back to very hot with temperatures in the 30's so hot I can't even pick up a crochet hook! Love the latest finish.
