A Little Fall Finish

 Last weekend I was embroidering this sweet little design, shared by Melisa at Pinker n' Punkin Quilts.  It was fun and it didn't take long either.  Thanks, Melisa!


The border is 2.5 x 1.5 inch strips sewn together, and I had some great fall fabric squares saved up that worked perfectly for this purpose.

Some hand quilting and a striped binding completed the project!

Such a fun finish!
