I completed the quilting and hand stitched the binding yesterday, while waiting for my family's arrival!
The backing was made from leftover pieced backing from a quilt made for our friends' granddaughter. I had to add a bit more to make it the correct size, so I added the green zig-zag, to complement the green fabrics in the top. The binding is cotton, in a pale yellow with pale pink "splotches".
I kept the quilting simple - just diagonal lines through the squares. I use King Tut thread from Superior in a colour called "Tiny Tuts" number 937. It is a lovely variegated pastel thread, and I use it often on baby quilts.
The quilt is resting on the top of the pile headed to my guild's community quilts program, to be donated in our area.
very well done, I'm sure whomever receives it will be so happy. Love the greens!!!
