Scheduled quilting time is a thing of the past around here...and I'm trying to be ok with that. Some days are easier than others! I stayed up late last night to finish the quilting on this one. I also added the binding in the wee hours and I top stitched it down this morning. I'm thrilled that this one is DONE! (I had the chance to sleep in, so I'm not any worse for the wear. Hurray!)
I used larger leftover pieces for the pieced backing and I love how it came together. I really liked mixing a non-traditional backing with the traditional quilt front.
I'm very happy with how this corner came out...front and back!
I'm now down to 9 WIPs! Woo-hoo! I'm enjoying it while it lasts, because no doubt I will be on a starting bender soon. That seems to be the way it works!
Perfect corners are the best.
ReplyDeleteLove the whole quilt, especially the bias plaid binding!
looks like you machine finish the stitching of the binding on the quilt. How do you do that?
ReplyDeleteLove the HSTs and the colors you used.

Belinda B Johnson,
ReplyDeleteyes, I did machine stitch the binding on the front and back. I have a tutorial under the quilt making basics page.

You be careful, those benders can be dangerous! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt....again. I actually sewed yesterday and late into the morning hours! it felt good! I haven't done that for ages.
Perfecta ejecuciĆ³n y perfecto resultado.
ReplyDeleteFelicidades!!
Nice finish
ReplyDeleteLove the pieced backing too; makes it reversible tooš
Wow, didn't we just see the completed top on Friday? You ROCK! What a great finish and so amazing, speedily fast.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! Your machine binding looks so neat and fantastic... you may have inspired me to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteWow your machine binding is so perfect.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful finish!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and beautiful corner on the binding. You make me happy when I see more people actually doing the binding on machine. Great work!
ReplyDeleteI now want to bind everything in red plaid.
ReplyDeleteLove the whole thing!!

Looks good! Especially love the back!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great-looking quilt! Front and back are both wonderful. And your binding is exquisite! Kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteGood work! How old is your oldest WIP since you've finished so many?
ReplyDeleteWhat a yummy quilt!
ReplyDeletenot just perfect corners on the binding but wow the lines on the triangles are so very very straight wonderful quilt
ReplyDeleteI was puzzling over binding fabric choices for my camping quilt today and after seeing your lovely plaid binding, I'm decided. It will be plaid for me, too! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYour machine applied binding is perfect. And your quilt appears flat as a flitter and that's a compliment by the way! Great job!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful finish. Love the bias plaid binding. Can't wait to see what you are working on next!
ReplyDeleteIt came out so pretty Amanda
ReplyDeleteAnother great quilt Ms. Crazy -- you're amazing! I can't wait to see what your bender will bring!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous quilting! Love those deep colors, too.
ReplyDeleteIt sure does feel good to finish up old stuff, doesn't it. I am down to only two WIP's but I am completely uninterested in finishing them - all that's left is the quilting, too! Instead, I've started and finished about 8 quilts since those two. No logic to it at all, but oh well.
ReplyDeleteYou are down to 9 WIPs??! Impressive. I hope to start tackling my stack when I return home from the great state of Minnesota!
ReplyDeleteI just love your cabin quilt soooo cute well done
ReplyDeleteImpressive -- only 9! I suppose that's a fairly normal range for you, but it sounds amazing to me. (You know I have just a few more than that . . .) :)
ReplyDeleteMany thumbs up!! Great job.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this one, Miss Amanda!
