You've seen this before--but I thought you'd want to see how the quilting is coming. This is for my niece who just bought a house with her fiance. They're getting married in Sept, and a ragged flannel will be the gift for that event.

The tricky part is the darn binding! It's pinned in the back in the photos. Matching the sky to sky and grass to grass is a pain. But, I did it--see:

:wink:
Edited to add fixed tree issue.... :roll: I like that better. :D

The binding might have been tricky, but worth it I think for the effect it has!!! Good job Karla!!!!

Just as we suspected all along--you're a genius!

Karla-Your niece is going to love it! The quilting is great and you did an awesome job on that binding!

Everytime I post photos I get a new persepctive on the projects. I see what I don't like. That one tree really stands out-looks like a B-l-o-c-k. :? Well--nothing can be done now--it's well rooted. :lol:

Karla, I didnt even notice it, so had to go back and look. But ok I see what you are saying now, I think if you just add a little bit of quilting around it, it will be just fine. (I know, more work). That would be for your peace of mind, cause like I said I didnt even notice until you said something!!!

Great idea, Melissa!!! THANK YOU!! :D I will do exactly that!

Did I ever mention how much I love it here? :wink:

That is really awesome. I love the horse in the barn. Great touch.

Oh how pretty what nice work you do barnbum!!! :-)

That is REALLY cute!
And look at Jazz in the door!
I didn't notice the block either until you mentioned it.
Had to go and look.
You did do a great job!!

I think the quilting will do it. Maybe that is your family tree... She is going to love it.

I fixed it, Melissa!! I like it much better now!! Thank you so much for your idea--it would have taken me a week to figure that out. :roll:

I need one of those cheek kiss smilies. :D

I replaced the photo with the yucky one. :lol:

Very nice, great job :D :D

I do believe that did the trick!!!! :thumbup: You did good Karla!!!!

very nice quilt. I like how you did the binding to blend in.

Ohhh AWESOME job!!! You're sooo good at this!!

ANOTHER barn quilt masterpiece! :D :D

How did you come to pick Jazz for the barn door? Inquiring minds want to know! :lol:

To answer the "why Jazz?" question--I'd have to say I thought my niece would appreciate it a lot--and he looks so danged handsome in there. :wink:

That is SO TRUE! 8)

Karla, that is just so cute!
And Yes, Jazz does look quite handsome in that doorway!! :)

Oooh, it looks gorgeous! And Jazz in the doorway totally makes the quilt special :)
