It’s always great to get up to the binding stage in the quilt making business. I didn’t have quite enough blue go right around the rugby panel quilt, so used some of the grey/black fabric across the bottom. It doesn’t look too bad, I hope. Sitting at the dining table was very pleasant as I hand stitched the binding down. Then I had lots of ends from quilting around the rugby figures to finish off. I do like to sit outside if I can, but although it has been sunny, the breeze has been a little chilly these last couple of days.
Hand stitching the binding
Finally this job was finished and it was photo time. I’ll be donating this to Foster Hope charity and hopefully a youngster will love it on his bed.
Most of this quilt was made from stash fabrics. Although I did purchase the panel, at only $5 it was a bargain. And the black and white spotty fabric I used on the back was part of a bundle donated recently to our Sew Wot group, so I gladly took it home and used that.

This is a very cute quilt for a child, they will love it. Happy stitching!
A rugby-loving young person will love your quilt, Jenny. You know, I rather love the grey for the binding at the bottom. The panel really stands out with the border and the nine patch squares in each corner are perfect. A lovely finish indeed!
What a wonderful quilt for some lucky child.
Great quilt for a child! Love your polka dot backing
Oh some lucky child will certainly cherish this one--really nice setting for the panel and great work--I love the dotty backing too! hugs, Julierose
I think that quilt will make some child happy for sure! Love the polka dots perfect for this quilt!
That's a lovely quilt Jenny and a great finish. The panel is really fun and a rugby loving youngster will most definitely want to give it a home.
Oh, you did such a nice job! It's perfect for a donation quilt, and what you did with the binding - using two different ones - looks great! No child will ever recognize that you use something different across the bottom. I'm sure you're feeling good about this finish, as you should!
Yes! I believe a youngster would love to have it on his bed!! Very nice!! :)
Great quilt! Hope you have a great stitching day!
I've no doubt a youngster will LOVE the quilt. It's a really fabulous panel!
I love the way you surrounded the panel with the sashing and 9 patches. The binding looks great the way you did it, too, Jenny! Someone is going to love this quilt!
You have enlarged the panel to a quilt size beautifully. I am with you - sitting outside to sew is lovely on a nice day!
