A finish!!!

Don't you just love a finish!  My up-cycled stars is now completed.  I wish I had a better name for it but I still really like this quilt.  
 I bound it in the same fabric that I used on the back.  I love this fabric and the colours are better for the quilt than the photo shows - trust me!
I quilted it simply  by stitching in the ditch around all the star blocks and then around the black border, all in a cream thread.  You can see a little of the quilting in this picture
 and again in this picture.  Not very exciting I know.
Then I changed thread and 
 stitched a couple of rows around the border on the cream.  Adds a little interest but is still quite subtle so doesn't detract from the stars.
So, yay!  A Finish!

Till next time...................happy stitching!

  1. And what a lovely finish it is, too! The backing is beautiful and I have great respect for anyone who can make a machine behave that well.
