In July I posted a quilt top I finished. Today I finished the binding after doing some echo quilting on the quilt earlier this week. So with great pride I will post the pics.

Actually, DD was going to throw away the material from the valance in her family room. [They bought the house and hated all the wallpaper and curtains.] So I talked her into washing it and then, if it was still good, I could take it home. Well that material will outlive me, I think! Anyway, I had plenty so tried a pattern from the Stack-n-Whack*apedia book by Bethany Reynolds.

It is really one of the prettiest quilts I have ever made and, backed with a soft denim, is the most snuggley too! Thanks for looking and for all your encouragement in this new technique!

I used the original material for the binding.

I just love it !! What a terrific story to be able to tell about the fabric. What came to mind as I read it was Scarlett O'Hara recycling the green drapes into a new dress.. you could call it "Tara" .. LOL !!
