Binding............

I had this small 16 patch quilt loaded on my longarm for almost 2 weeks so I decided I had to get it quilted yesterday.  I chose green zebra fabric for the binding.  I decided to hand finish this one and am almost halfway done with it.
The leaves on my redbud trees always turn yellow and then fall off.....but not this year.  The leaves are hanging on longer than usual and are a strange shade of rusty brown.  That is a Rose of Sharon branch in the foreground.
