Parrothead

It is done! I love this fabric in fact I love it so much I was like a little kid waiting for Christmas after I ordered it. I even printed the pictures of the fabric from the web site and cut out pieces to see how I would put it together! Besides the main block in the center there are blocks of Turning Twenty and some 4 patches. It is backed with fleece (never again) that I thought was a real find in the red check pattern. I decided instead of the normal tieing I would make X's and tie on the back. The X's were not visioned being even. I also decided to do a reverse binding with the main border. I am really proud of my mitered corners on both sides. The black stitching is suppose to replicate the ants on the checkered tablecloth that borders the main square. I have a new sewing machine and was trying out one of the stitches. I found out the decorative stitches do not like thick stuff but this is just for me and the quilt police will never see it. I machine pieced for the first time and asked my Grannie's forgiveness.
