"San Francisco" theme Wall Hanging completed
Here are some views of my finally completed first hand quilted project I ever did. This has been shown in progress. Here is the link to it.
1998 Pin Wheel borders
And here is the finish.
I have to thank board member JDP for the title. It is perfect.

I have used this backing before. This is the last scrap of one of my favorite fabrics.

close up of my hand quilting. I did not do the leaves. I washed the binding material four times and the water was beet juice red the first two times. I might add black seed beads along the leaf spines for some bling.

"San Francisco", by Scott Mckenzie, 1967. The hanging sleeve is a piece of vintage fabric.

Thank you to everyone who gave me suggestions and encouragement through this project.

That is absolutely the perfect border. What a stunner! Wondering about the size of of your pinwheels. I looked back at your previous posts and they do look smallish, maybe 3 inch? I am admiring your tenacity to keep after this UFO.
