Spring is here in full force. Flowers in bloom, warm temps---84 degrees today---with cool mornings. So this quilt is just what is needed for early mornings on the porch...along with a nice cup of coffee.
I finished up the scrappy binding yesterday, for a finish this month. Yay! I had debated on a border for this one, but instead I opted for just a nice snuggle size of 50" by 60".
Simple straight line quilting on this one. I almost used an all over swirl, and then decided to keep it clean and simple. I just wanted to accent the diagonal lines of the blocks rather than weight it down with too much thread.
A simple scrappy binding.....I just dug through the bin with leftover binding pieces and sewed them together. This is one of my favorite "waste not" techniques. Eventually, every binding scrap finds a home.
Home Ties is done....and looking for a home. I have somebody in mind for this one ;D
I love a finish....it motivates me to move forward and think ahead. That means I need to do some cutting. And ponder the layout for the strings I took off the design wall. I think I have an idea that just might satisfy me.
Happy stitching.

Nice job, Debbie! Oh, florals and batiks will be pretty!
Beautiful quilt finish, Debbie! I love your "waste not, want not" attitude!
Hope the pollen ain't too bad over your way...
Pretty, pretty, pretty. Florals would be beautiful also.
That is so pretty! I like the straight line quilting, it draws attention to the chain.
