2nd FAL finish! And it's still only April!



I have been accused of being 'on' something, {it's not true} but everything seems to be working out well in my quilting world at the moment!

Baby bear was finished last night!   All my meander quilting is done {even though I had some unpicking to do}, I ditchstiched the paws so they stand out a bit too! Then I quilted round mama bear's paws and in the border quilted {mama bear says Round and Round the garden}  - the rhyme came back to me as I was quilting so I guess that is now the title of this quilt!  Did you do that one with your kids!?   





I chose navy metro circles for the binding and pieced in a bit of pink where mama bear's paws were!  Done that with binding before but not in a while. Glad to see I still can!  Was up late handstitching down the binding....

But I wanted to finish it and now I know why !




I met the young man who will receive it at church today!  I even held the wee mite while he slept and hiccoughed.   So I was right to persist and will add his name to the border so his sister knows it belongs to him!

Time to move again - from Tops for quilting - to - Quilt Finishes 2014!  Yeah!

  10. I spied the pink in the binding from the back-of- the-quilt photo - brilliant idea ! I've sometimes had to add another colour if I've run out (and that becomes a label ) but I've never put in a specific short section - fab idea!
