Summer Stars!
After an extended period of hand quilting.....
 |
| Thank you Daniel for holding up this monster! on a cold Melbourne afternoon I have a finish! |
It is a big one....64 inches by 84 inches!
The backing is pieced with a small piece of spot...
added to a wonderful piece of floral vintage fabric I
had been saving!
And my 'stand-by' binding....
Stripes!
Finally, some of the 100 or more circles I hand
quilted!
Happy sewing!

I love patchwork and quilting but have yet to tackle a very large project like this... bit scared of the quilting part if I'm honest!
Anyway, have a great week.
