Here is a tiny part of the binding of the original quilt.
I neglected to get a shot of the backing. I do know I love to find a surprise print on the back of antique quilts.
Here is my surprise backing.
Here is the binding I used.
Here is the antique that you may be able to zoom in on and see the quilting.
I stitched in the ditch (by machine) around the 9 patches, green squares and setting squares. Then hand quilted a 2" grid through the entire quilt.
It is your quilt, finish as you'd like. But as a new quilter I disliked reading "quilt as desired" so I like to give ideas.
Make sure to add a label, then enjoy your little quilt!
I'll set up a link party in a couple of weeks so we can see all the quilts in one place. There are some beauties I'm seeing in the Facebook group!
Thanks for sewing along.
I love it! Looking forward to finishing mine up too!
ReplyDeleteReally pretty Homestead quilt. I am so far behind on mine. 'Still getting the blocks pieced.
