I spent all day yesterday, machine quilting, and managed to stitch the binding on and trim the excess fabric too. I sat and hand-stitched the binding while chatting with friends, and watching TV, and was able to complete the binding after breakfast this morning!
I took this picture on an angle, to show some of the quilting. I stitched a "double stitched" grid in the centre of the panel, then echo-stitched around the flowers. There is lots of stitch-in-the-ditch elsewhere, as well as accent stitching around the flowers in the borders.
Here is my completed project. I named it Victory Garden, after the line of fabric. I had fun stitching the mitered corners on the two floral borders. I had to add some compensating strips to make my flying geese border fit. Now I have to decide what I want to do with this project!
It's even more beautiful as I thought it would be, Susan!
