For the binding, I used a bit of the wide backing fabric that had just arrived from Connecting Threads - it's that pretty royal blue with tiny flowers at the bottom of the pile there. I think it makes the perfect frame for all these blues.
The next time we go to visit my MIL, I'll take it to the nursing home. But before it goes, I just had to try a "quilt in a tree" photo!
Okay - that was kind of fun! :)
Linking up with Alycia for Thank Goodness it's Finished Friday!
Your finished quilt is so pretty! I see you grabbed a solids bundle from Connecting THreads, too. I've had my eye on a couple of those, too.
ReplyDeletehow do you like the wide back fabric that you got. I got a piece from them once for a wide back several years ago but found it stiffer to work with then I thought it would be but then other fabric from them isn't.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the finish-what's next?
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect finish! It's a beautiful hodgepodge quilt that doesn't look like a hodgepodge quilt!
ReplyDeleteI like your quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove the finish Dianne. The colors are so soothing - that border gives the quilt a modern twist too. The stack of solids you shared is so pretty - I bet your are anxious to cut into those.
ReplyDeleteLove that glamour shot! Congrats on a great finish, and I love the name :)
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt in a tree look!! That is a great quilt!! and .... what did you watch - was it good?
ReplyDeleteA very pretty finish!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty quilt! I love all the blues, especially that royal with the tiny flowers. :)
ReplyDeletePretty! I know this quilt will be appreciated and loved.
ReplyDeleteNo one would ever know this quilt was made from random blocks and not planned this way. Great job.
