And now on to the final part of the quilt journey… the long goodbye of hand stitching the binding.
My cabin nights quilt is about as pastel as I can get! I think if it was a low volume or a light it ended up in this quilt. Love love loved making this one - with lots of teeny tiny 2" HSTs - and wanted to get it finished as soon as. Super happy with the contrast of the occasional bright florals with the muted greens, soft pinks & light backgrounds.
I'm not really a fan of square quilts, so I added an extra strip of the background fabrics to the top and bottom and ended up with a rectangular quilt.For a backing, I added a few improv borders to my scrappy light/dark HSTs diamond quilt to get it a little bigger than my quilt top, #partyinthequiltback.
I dropped my quilt off with Marita at Quilters Anonymous for a spot of quilting magic.
My finished quilts constantly surprise me, the pink binding chose itself! It's a small pink & white retro daisy print by RRS Sugar Maple.
My 1st completed quilt for 2026!
