I like it Rob. Very interesting - I think the ratio of what draws your eyes and places of rest is great (at least for my eyes
)I really like the binding as well. Is that a decorative stitch or zigzag front and back? Really sets it off.

Thanks Erin,
There are two stitches front and back. The stitch that holds the rattail binding on the edge is an overcast stitch--Usually I just use a zigzag to attach the rattail, but wanted to try using my overcasting foot. Then I used one of the decorative satin stitches on my machine to stitch just inside the binding and then another round just above that.

Lol, Rob. I have that book too and haven't attempted one yet. But a UFO finish is a UFO finish so one more for you. Congratulations and Toot, Toot!
Well, I decided to cut up one of my UFOs to make a convergence quilt. Apparently I am still not particularly accomplished at following directions, so after mangling the cutting and piecing instructions in Ricky Tims' convergence quilt book, I decided to cut my losses and just do a quick quilt and bind job on it. All is not lost as it can be used on my nightstand and it's one more UFO off the pile!

QM, I am sorry to hear you are having problems with your foot. Trust me, I would NEVER let Fred loose on anyone, he is a cruel and heartless taskmaster and never confines himself to one part of the body, nor to one system. Fibromyalgia Fred makes his co-tenant, Arthur Arthritis look like the epitome of kindness and consideration. LOL
I just finished a weighted and textured quilt for my grandson who has high-functioning autism. He was able to visit for a few days and learned to piece some blocks that we used in the quilt. We worked together on making the blocks and planning the design, then I finished the quilt after he had to leave. It weighs 7 lbs. and has many textures of fabrics as well as added textures such as embroidery, ragging, beading, etc.
