I did meandering with 3 different colors of thread, light at the top and increasingly darker as I got to the bottom. I used the same print for binding that I have on the back and finished the binding by machine, stitching in the ditch on top to catch the folded edge on the back. I actually quilted this last week and have quilted 2 more since then which I'll show when they have their binding on. This one is about 45" wide so it will be a nice lap quilt.
