a little last-minute sewing as we countdown to Christmas

and my positivities & *pas de deux quilts together ...
Yesterday I spent a very pleasant couple of hours out on the deck sewing the binding down on my 'positivities' quilt.
Quilt stats:
Fabrics: I opted to use a constant soft minty-green solid as my background and I used a selection of scraps from my stash.
Backing: it was a great way to use up some mixed size, leftover vintage sheet pieces.
Quilting: simply quilted in edge-to-edge straight lines by Leeanne @quiltmekiwi who by now knows my taste so well!
Binding: After some indecision, I chose 'visitation' from the Bright Eyes collection by AMH. The soft purple with its large-scale floral design breaks up nicely along the narrow segments of the binding. And I love how those intermittent floral clusters seem to draw out the warm colours in the quilt.
Finished quilt measurements: 63" x 76".

Taking a break from posting now, see you next year!

Your quilts are always so pretty, i need you to come to my home and help me make some more interesting quilts. Happy stitching!
beautiful, such a great idea to use that minty green
Your quilts are so pretty. The large print worked out great for binding, a little more interest at the edge.
Have a fun break for the holidays.
Great way to finish up the year with some quilt binding. Beautiful colours in each of the bindings. Lots of options and great choices.
Have a very merry Christmas!! enjoy your break. Pretty quilt
Yes, the 'negative space' in the design adds color appreciation for sure. And your binding fabric choice is gorgeous.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!
How pretty, Linda! You've ended 2024 with some lovely things. "Countdown to Christmas" is right, though for me, since we won't be with family, it means sewing, sewing, and more sewing, to distract me from missing them. I am coming up with two more finishes before year's end, and those at least make me happy. I hope you have a wonderful time with family, and celebrating the true meaning of Christmas. Many blessings.
Gorgeous quilt!! I love your colors. It's fabulous that you took on a BOM. I've thought about doing the same one day, but don't have any sort of discipline. It's fabulous how it came out. You must be so proud of it and the feeling of accomplishment. Well done!!!
LOVE your little green bowl for scissors and thread! Do you have any information about it?
