I have a finish! Yeah!!
This is the Magic 4 Patch made from Strawberry fields. I used 2 charm packs for this one, and it finished approx 60"x70".
I finished the FMQ..just did a flowery all over pattern..
The backing is actually an Amy Butler print I found on the 1/2 price wall !! Lucky me!
And check out the binding!!
I finally broke my pattern of boring bindings and added a dash of colour!
I think one of the reasons I had trouble adding flashy binding is that I like to add borders, and find that a contrasting binding doesn't add much if there are a couple of borders. When I looked around at quilts that I liked with different binding, I realized that most of them didn't have a border, or had a plain white border, so I tried that! I am pretty happy with it!
I really love that line, so fresh, just like a strawberry field. I like those flowers quilted in, actually echoes the strawberry flowers. AND yeah!! a dotty binding.

ReplyDeleteJust lovely! The white border and red binding are perfect!
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty - love it!
ReplyDeleteit looks terrific! Awesome binding. Yeah, sometimes I want binding to pop out, others, to frame and act as a final border, others to blend in with the last border already there. It's an art all of its own, isn't it?
