Putting the binding on always makes it look better. You would think after 51 years of making quilts that I wouldn't judge the piece until it is done. The quilting is far from perfect but I am happy with this piece. It is 20" x 22.5".
I used the smoky monofilament in the black and white fabric borders because I thought either black or white would be too distracting. The flash makes it show up in these pictures.
The picture below is the back of this little quilt. The fabric is from the late 1980's when the larger prints were just becoming popular in quilts. I have a lot of them to use up in the backs of quilts.
We are freezing again this weekend, after being warm a week ago. It is only 37 degrees this morning and is supposed to go down to 29 degrees tonight and 41 degrees tomorrow. That is OK though because we have the quilt festival at Rosemont near Chicago this weekend. We won't be sidetracked by gardening.
