I finished the HST quilt that I am making for my nephews wedding (and with a few weeks to spare...which is very unlike me !!)
It is made starting from 5" squares, sewn and cut into HST. I love how these colours mix together! (I love it so much that I am making one for myself too !!LOL)
The backing is lime green..with a row of extra HST blocks..
I used the same fabric for the binding and the backing...
I quilted it with straight diagonal lines, echoing the seams. This avoids trying to sew over where the points come together, which gets pretty thick and bulky.
Anyway I am happy with it, and will get it wrapped up and ready to go to the wedding!
That is my Friday Finish ..so will link up to Finish it up Friday at Crazy Mom Quilts
and TGIFF.
M-R is hosting TGIFF over at Quilt Matters this week.. so go check it out! :)

Beautiful quilt! Love the colors. Quilting method was a good idea. I think perfect for these blocks.
