Homestead- Finale 2024 Quilt-a-long


 


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.
