It’s not Finished till the Binding’s Done

This is a cute little boys quilt made from pictures cut from a small panel and framed.  The top was constructed “leader and ender” style, and it was layered and pinned, ready for machine quilting.  The binding was made, and I was set to go onto the next step.

Ready to start quilting

I stitched in the ditch around the plain sashing and used simple Serpentine stitch in the diagonal quilting lines, extending them right through to the borders.

Easy machine quilting

Then quiet time doing slow stitching, I enjoy sitting down hand stitching the binding down, especially when the weather is warm enough to sit outside on the patio..

Binding time

All finished.  This will be donated to Foster Hope to bring a little boy comfort and warmth.  It features tractors and trucks working on the farm.
