Just finished this quilt from a kit I purchased over 10 years ago. It is much smaller than it was supposed to be because I had misread the instructions and had cut several squares too small from the first color. So I had to reduce everything down which resulted with a much smaller quilt. It was the first time I had ever made a pieced binding. I had enough scraps to make a pillow sham and mug rug.

Whoa, that gorgeous!! I love the gredations of color and the 3D look. It looks like a piecing challenge. And your pillow sham and mug rug are eye-popping pretty as well. Your sewing room is a dream space, which I'm sure you are pleased as punch with.

Beautiful!!! Your binding is fantastic too!

That turned out very pretty. I like it! The pieced binding really finishes off the whole quilt and makes it look fabulous.

Very cool! Love the colors!

What size are those blocks? =)

I also like the color gradations and binding! Great job!

So cheerful. One cant help but smile.

The pieced binding works perfectly

Love all the beautiful projects. BrendaK

I love the bright colors in this quilt. Great job!

That is a great lemonade from lemons work of art.

Small or not, that is striking! Good job.

Ooooh, a stunner. I see why you purchased the kit!

Beautiful use of gradations of rainbow colors. I can see that that pattern was a challenge; but, the outcome is very nice.

Wow, you did a great job with all!

All three are wonderful! So bright and cheerful!

I've never seen a pieced binding before. Gorgeous.

Gorgeous colors,love the binding and use of scraps plus the pillow is fabulous and even a mug rug. You outdid yourself though you miscut as you mentioned but you made up for it with these little extras. Nice job!!!!!

Very pretty quilt-looks like jewel tone fabrics. Also love the pillow sham and the mug rug is so adorable.

That’s really pretty! And it’s really nice when you can get a couple extra items too!

It's hard to believe it sat for 10 years. This is one gorgeous quilt. Beautiful job and a good use of the remaining scraps. We all have oops days.

Oh my goodness, janjang!! This is stunning!! Beautiful, work! The color placement alone looks really challenging. Love your leftover projects. Very cool!

Love the bright colors for the quilt and your extra projects.

I really like the pieced binding. Trying to figure out how you made it. Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Gorgeous quilt, everything about it. Pillow sham and mug rug too.

Gorgeous sewing room too. Lucky you.

Nice quilt and binding.

Gorgeous!!!!

Its fabulous, no matter what size you made it! I love your choice of colors!

Love the bold colors! Good job

Great quilt and a lovely, large room which looks very neat!

Very pretty. You are amazing. You certainly conquered the challenges.

They all turned out fabulous. Love the colors.

Love that you had the foresight to make other items when you cut the squares too small and had leftovers!

Beautiful quilt. Love the pattern and the colors used.

Just to clear things up about my sewing room. Several people have commented about my sewing room in the picture. Unfortunately the room in the picture is not my sewing room. I live in a "snowbird" RV resort in Florida in the winter. The room in the picture is the clubhouse where many different activities are held. On Thursdays we have a quilting bee where anyone in our park interested in quilting can come and get help with projects , help others with theirs, or just observe what others are working on, or work on their own projects. The picture was taken on the last "bee" of the season, as most "snowbirds" are preparing to head back home in the north. Thanks all for all of the comments.

I simply cut as many 2 1/2 X 6 inch strips needed to make a long enough binding and sewed together and attached as usual.

So cheerful!
