My goal this month was to bind my Bedford Tiles quilt. Stitching down the binding seems like such an easy task, however I am typically very slow at binding, so I was counting on this taking me all month. Much to my surprise, I finished January 11.

I'm quite pleased with this finish. I found the sewing very tedious, there was an error in the fabric requirements which led to having to track down more of an apparently out of print fabric (and then I bought everything they had and used it for backing too), and the quilting design I chose--Echoed Swirls--is very dense, even sized as large as I could go, and took forever to stitch out. 

It's done and I like it. I'm really glad I was able to find more of the border fabric because I think it pulls the whole thing together.

Next I'll be contemplating what task to complete in February.

Now it's your turn to share your finish (or your progress if you didn't quite make it to the finish line).

Take a few minutes to visit others, offer encouragement, and make new friends!

  2. Beautiful! The blue/yellow combo has always been a fave of mine. The binding is a perfect finish, too, as is the quilting. Sorry it took so long to quilt up but I'm sure it's worth it now!

  4. Hi Anne-Marie, that is a really lovely finish. I'm so glad that you found the fabric - not an easy thing to do, even a few months after you've bought it! Thanks for letting me link up. I'll be finished the quilting of "Snow Happens" this weekend. Yay! Like you, I have to think about my next OMG. Take care.
