Sew n Tell Friday - almost done

Although I still have about 40" of binding to stitch done, I am calling these one pretty much done :)

This quilt was made using the tutorial for the first quilt along of the Old Red Barn Co quilt along on Flickr. It is for my sister in law for Christmas. It's my second completed quilt that I have made. I didn't quilt this one myself though. I had it quilted by a long arm quilter in Island Bay here in Wellington with an all over leafy pattern.



Wonderland by Momo for Moda 48" x 48"

I asked for input on the Old Red Barn Co Flickr group for advice on what to bind this quilt in... The brown scissor fabric was definitely the favourite to use as the binding and I am very happy with the way it has framed the quilt. I just hope my sister in law will love it!

Hope everyone has had a great week! I am just so grateful it's Friday!

  1. I wish I was your SIL, for more reasons than just this one, Lara! Your quilt is a stunner and the binding choice was PERFECT! Love that brown on the edges.

    I can't believe you are able to give it away, how kind of you! Nice job, GF!

  6. The quilt looks lovely. I think the recipient will be very happy indeed. I am making a table runner from a Wonderland charm pack.
