I've enjoyed looking at the wild mix of prints.
Hand Quilted - nice cable in the blue outer border.
Binding: Front folded to the back and machine stitched down with rather long stitches in white thread.

| Back |
The back is as good as the front.
What a great job lining up the framed bar backing.
When you enlarge the picture you can see the quilting lines.

| Center Prints |
Here are some detail shots of the fabrics.
Center fabrics are prints - no solids in the center or the quilt.
Great textured blacks....nice contrast by the lights/blues.
Quilting lines on the black fabric.
Pieced Stripe
The pink reads peach in this photo - but that's my bad photography not doing it justice.
Seems like I've been 'on the go' for weeks - because I have! Its all been FUN. I have so many more vintage sewing tools to share - but it will be a bit before I get back to those - thanks for waiting ;-)
Hope you are having fun too.
