In the home stretch!!!
Attached is my almost finished show quilt. It's difficult to see the quilting, but I haven't washed/blocked it yet so you can still see some of the stencil designs. I decided to go with thread colors to match the block background color, with the exception of the dark brown flower print. I used a green that matches the lighter green on the leaves. It really looks good. I will have to restitch one of the smaller 4-HST squares to correct double stitch lines. SITD all of the blocks where appropriate and the back of the quilt looks nice and smooth. Buried all the threads and ready to baste around the borders before washing/blocking.
Binding will be either a light beige with roses that matches the backing. (See a couple posts above.)
OR
I could also use the light green for the binding that is also in one of the pics in a previous post above.
Not sure which will look best. Any ideas?
Thanks all.
