I had a fun weekend doing some quilting...... swirls and circles for the superheroes after going around all the applique pieces in an invisible thread.
I used a variegated grey for the swirls and it has kept the quilt soft whilst giving it a bit of texture .....
then came binding...... sewing the strips together. (I had bought half a metre and realised the stripes went between the selvages so there was a lot of ends to sew together ....
.... I get excited at getting the ends to meet perfectly on the stripe ....
...most of the time....
I have a few old thread cones and they make useful binding holders....
... do you ever get the feeling you are being watched while you work???????
I have my evening hand work ready to do now....
Righto, Gotto Go....... I want to play catch up with Splendid Sampler blocks this week.... only 32 plus behind....

Good morning my lovely friend,lol you crack me up i love that last pic,wow your grandie's quilt looks awesome,well done my Fiona xx
Now that is one creepy watcher! I love variegated threads too, they do a wonderful job of blending in with so many colours.
I like the border, perfect for the quilt and i think less quilting is nice for kid's quilts, the ones i did came out too stiff.

love it, and well done on matching the stripes
It is wonderful to see this so close to finished. Love the striped binding.
Fantastic and I do love a stripey binding x
only 32??? - oh well - super heroes was important...Great job where you could match the stripes. and better to be totally off than an "almost" match.
Always a great feeling to be hemming down the binding. xx
