Now that my youngest is in kindergarten I've got a few quiet hours to myself a couple days a week, so it felt like I whipped this up in no time!
I had fun piecing together a back with the extra HSTs from the front. Sometimes it's hard to decide if I like the front or the back better!
With the last few quilts I've made I've been in a hurry to finish and opted to machine stitch the binding onto the front of the quilt. With this one, I went the old fashioned route and hand stitched it to the back. I like the results so much better! I've got to remember that it's worth taking your time with the finishing.
I made this quilt as a gift for our realtor who helped us sell our old house and find a new one this past spring. We've been in the new house almost 3 months now (how can that be?!), so I've been a bit slow in thanking her. But I hope she likes it nonetheless.
Your whittling is looking mighty fine! Gorgeous fabrics and pattern. What a lovely present....so much better than a commission....she will love it.
