    QuilterMomma, that is a beauty. Great job pushing past the last 3 weeks to get her done.

    Default UFO Done, finally!

    Hey all, I finally have a finish for June. I thought it would never be done, mainly because I tried a new to me technique--adding piping ---which then meant hand sewing the binding down on the back, which was made harder by using black thread on the black binding---I finally had to get my jeweler's magnifiers to be able to see. First photo is front, second is back and third is detail showing piping since it doesn't want to show up in the other photos.

    It's about 49" square and parts of it have been sitting around for at least 6 years...

    QMomma...congrats on the finish. Your perseverance paid off. Lovely quilt!

    Rob...nice finish! Really like the back and I think the circular quilting is a good fit.

    QuilterMomma, that is totally charming. I love the embellishments!

    Rob, what a great finish, front and back. I tried to pick out a favorite block but can't -- they're all wonderful.

    I love it QM! I hope you got my address right. I'd hate to see that get lost in the mail. He he.

    Now that is striking rryder. I love the play with colors. The circular quilting gives it motion. Nicely done. Now that you got that piping down, show me please.

    Rob, great finish. Like how you used circular quilting on those blocks and the back looks just as good as the front.
