Memorial Day Sails

Finally added a border to this, but not thrilled with the way it came  out.... 
Correction... removed binding and hand sewed this to finish....
much better now, please view this one in my etsy shop!




Also, lighting terrible for this photo...
need to get outside for this finish.
I always struggle with the binding.  I've used the machine to attach the binding, but it always comes out neater by hand-sewing the binding to finish.  Also, not thrilled with my corners this time.
This quilt is based on this tutorial/pattern from Laura Potts I found in a Love Patchwork and Quilting magazine, issue #6.






I might get out my stitch ripper and redo the binding... but not tonight.  I'm happy to have a "finish" for now.
All done... new binding attached and love it now!
Thanks for stopping by!

I sea stars!

This is a newly finished quilt featuring Out to Sea by Sarah Jane and Emily Herrick "Going Coastal"
fabric.  I've machine quilted the negative space echoing the chevron pattern throughout allowing the
grey starfish fabric to pop!

This quilt has been a work in progress for months.   Other projects kept getting in the way, but I'm glad I waited to buy the Out to Sea fabric in baby pink Narwhal's.  It's light weight and super soft to cuddle in.  It is a perfect compliment to the grey starfish from the Going Coastal collection.  
This will be posted in my etsy shop soon!
Perfect for a baby girl's nursery.
