It's Fri-Day!

Now it is fully complete! I opted for a muslin binding



I used a few different background pieces as I think it ages the quilt nicely. I still can't get enough of Sharon's beautiful quilting.


 Mostly I'm plugging away for an hour or so in the evening handquilting. 
 I haven't had time this week to do any more than sew on the binding. Looking forward to the weekend!!
And if you are interested, here is my Instagram feed for this week.

Have a wonderful weekend!!

    Sharon's quilting is perfect for your beautiful Delectable Mountains quilt. It's gorgeous! I love, love, love your applique quilt,too. The hand quilting is beautiful. Both quilts have a delightful Vintage look.

    it's beautiful and perfect...the muslin binding allows the sawtooth border to float, a very distinctive effect....very nice!

    Yep, Sharon's quilting is just as spectacular as the quilt itself. I love that you used different shades of muslin for the background - it DEFINITELY ages the entire quilt!

    A classic, timeless quilt, Lori! Your placement of slightly different background fabric here and there is an excellent touch!
    Sharon is so good at those feathers--they seem to flow effortlessly through the quilt.
    I admire your hand quilting. Heirloom in the works!

    Time to sit and Bind is a Luxury! I love to do that. Gotta get some finishes so I can sit and stitch bindings. Thanks for sharing the close-ups!

    I like that you chose to do the muslin binding, I think most would have gone with the blue but your choice was perfect.

    Your hand quilting is to be envied!
