I intended to slow things down a bit today and spend it binding a small charity quilt that the gals from the church just finished quilting. It was found in a bundle of quilt tops from an unknown maker and they decided that it was time to be quilted and put to use.
Late Friday I got the binding made and attached and yesterday I gave it a start. It's not a large quilt - 62" x 48" - so I expected to have it done by the end of the weekend.
Well, things went much better than anticipated and it was finished waaaay ahead of schedule. I really like the binding; the colours in the quilt are a little on the dull side so this gives it a little bit more life. The cream backing is on the light side for my taste, but it too was pulled from the bits and bobs that the gals have for charity quilts and it will do nicely.
p.s. The Official Cookie Tester was in his element this week - he even got a tin of cookies to share at the office.

Gosh that is a lot of cookies! The fabric for the binding is a wonderful fit for the charity quilt. How fun...watching the game whilst you stitch those pretty hexies. Have fun stitching.
Great projects. Cookies look yummy!
Hi,
Love the fabric you choose for the charity quilt. It really makes the quilt pop. Have a great day!
That binding is perfect and I am hoping KC wins less than 2 minutes so far so good!
You picked the perfect print for binding for the quilt. Nicely done! Hexies and superbowl sound like the perfect way to while away a Sunday evening. I'll miss football! Hope you have a great week! :)
A great big Thank You from the Friends of Bonnechere Parks. Your generous donation of cookies was much appreciated by many. Every last cookie disappeared, with only a few crumbs left in the bottom of the tins. All the little children who attended enjoyed choosing a favourite snowflake.
It looks like the Offical Cookie tester was very busy. The little gold calico was a great choice for the binding.
