Here is my completed Toucan wall quilt. It measures 12 x 14. I wanted to use the green print for the back, but I didn’t have enough so I used the branch fabric. The pattern is from: http://www.quiltpox.davisfamilycreat...e%20Toucan.pdf
I want to thank everyone for their input on the borders, binding etc. :wink: :wink: :wink: I’m going to hang this in the computer room that is a tropical bird motif. It will go next to the counted cross stitch I made & framed in 1987. I used to do counted cross stitch ALL the time, but no more. :cry: :cry: :cry: With the severe arthritis in the base of both thumbs it’s nearly impossible. :( :( :( I always wear thumb braces. :roll: :roll: :roll: Hand sewing, especially binding takes much longer, but I get the job done. :D :D :D It’s on to the next project.......>>>>>>>>>>>>>> |

1st the black was a 1 1/2" strip folded in half & sewn on. 2nd the green was a 1 1/4" strip folded in half & sewn on. Then the binding is 3 1/4 to accomodate the excess bulk from the black & green. Normally I just use a 3" binding. |

Thanks for sharing the picture of the finished wall hanging. I remember when you were asking for suggestions about the border. I voted black, but I like your solution much better. It really pops with the green and black borders. Beautifu work!
