Last night I finished the binding on this quilt! It's been a long time in the making, I believe I finished the top in 2009 (maybe 2010? not sure). It sat around because I wasn't confident that I would be able to do a good job quilting it on my longarm that I've had for a year.

Now it's into the washer, a slight drying, then lay it out flat to block and shape it. Fingers crossed....

I have 3 more quilts folded up on my bed that need binding. Those are going to be by machine! This took days and days to do by hand.

Beautiful! I love the colors and your quilting. This is my biggest want to do quilt...but they look very intimidating. You did an awesome job on yours! :-D :-D

WOW!

It's not that hard of a pattern to do, just tons of HSTs! Piles and piles of them.

I have avoided doing diamonds since my first attempt many, many years ago. Maybe someday I will try again using starch. I don't even know if there was rotary cutting when I was doing that diamond quilt. In fact, it just flashed into my mind the memory of using a ruler and drawing the lines for the diamonds. No wonder I hated doing diamonds and trying to get points to come together!

That's one AWESOME quilt!!! The quilting and the quilt are just so spectacular!!

dhanke 04-16-2011 09:46 AM

It's a totally beautiful quilt, you must have gotten a lot of practice on your LA because the quilting is gorgeous. I know what you mean about hand sewing the binding, but I also like this step in the process, I get to bond with my quilt for several days and then ta-da!! it's totally finished.

amma 04-16-2011 10:02 AM

Stunning quilt! :D:D:D

intoquilting 04-16-2011 11:11 AM

I understand completely. I leave the binding until I just have to do it. It sure takes a lot of time. I have a quilt that I have put off so long that I can't find the binding for it now. I know it is somewhere in this house. LOL

Plain Jane 04-16-2011 11:15 AM

It's beautiful. Worth waiting for.

Gorgeous! You give me hope! I have had my long arm just a week and am learning to master FMQ. I only hope I can do feathers like that in a year!
