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".

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.
