The Wonder Clips at the top of this photo tell the story of my day today: slow stitching binding on
Falling Leaves.
When the calendar flips over into September I'm always on high alert because it's time to get some Holly Bazaar projects under way. But this year it also means finishing up this raffle quilt for the church.
The binding was cut and pressed yesterday and I managed to get it sewn on before hitting the sack (it's a large quilt - 88" x 100" - so there was a fair bit of gratuitous wrestling to get that job done). And that put me in good shape for today. This is the beautiful backing fabric.
That's what I'm binding it with, and it's looking really nice against that piano key border. It's currently about half finished so I'm happy with that. Linking up with
Kathy and the slow stitchers who are joining her today...M

Ooh, Marie -- I recognize some of those autumn leaf print fabrics from the Deep Stash Scraps! I know I used some of the same ones in the maple leaf quilt I made, gosh, at least 12 years ago. It made me happy to see them again in your quilt. Happy binding and Happy Fall!
Always fun to be hand stitching binding! Lovely fall fabrics you get to fondle while you are stitching.
