Finishes - graduation and birthday gifts
 

I need to learn how to do good machine bindings. Hand stitching the bindings on these two king sized quilts was not only very time consuming but hard on fingers, thumbs, wrists.
Oh well, worth it when they are done.

the paper pieced Stars quilt from Carol Doak's 50 stars for 50 states book is a graduation gift,
the Ginny Beyer lone star ( Lotus) quilt is a birthday gift. Both finished in May. Boy, glad they are done!

Both are very pretty, love the colors in both.

I'm lucky; my DD put the bindings on for me. My hands won't let me do that anymore.

Gorgeous! That is a lot of work. You must love these people a whole bunch. Thanks so much for showing us.

Wow! Those are eye-popping gorgeous!!!

i don't know that i could choose between them. they are fantastic!!! stellar work.

They are both fabulous. I have never understood the value of hand binding. I could make another entire quilt in the time it takes to hand bind one, and I don't see advantage. But your quilts are just gorgeous!

both are beautiful

Both of those quilts are absolutely gorgeous! What beautiful gifts!

I love them both, but that Lone Star is really speaking to me. Excellent job.
