I quilted away on Saturday and was able to get the binding sewn on and pinned down... but waited til Sunday morning to sew the binding down. Good light makes all the difference when sewing, imho...
The red inner border is barn red or cranberry rather than red-red... but it's the best I could do.
I meandered in the center...
...did a loop-de-loop in the barn red border...
...and stars in the outer border.
You can see three stars plus the backing below...
...and I did my usual triangle/corner label.
The quilting isn't perfect, not by a long shot... but I am getting better. This quilt is going to one of my brothers-in-law, both of whom are like brothers to me....
...and are wonderful uncles to my children and grandchildren.
Love it Freda......!!
