SunlienSmiles - thanks for sharing your beautiful quilt in a beautiful park setting. It reminded me of what grass looks like! LOL I am only looking at lots of snow in the yard and more blowing around.

Julie, you have such interesting fabrics! Can't wait to see the whole quilt together. (If you post photos by scrolling down to 'Go Advanced' and using the 'Manage Attachments' tab, rather than using the tree icon, you won't get the double photos.)

Sunlitensmiles, that is so beautiful, and such a lovely setting for the photo! Quilts look wonderful photographed outside. I'm another fan of that checked binding! Well done! Thank you both for posting photos!

Well count me as another one who thinks that binding is incredible. I never would have considered it but its perfect, the size is perfect too. If it was larger I think you might loose some of the impact. Oh and did I mention the backing, just super. You hit a home run!

LOL @ home run, yes that is a baseball diamond and that is Burbanks' Bob Hope Airport in the distance about an air mile away and downhill. I plan to send it to my DDIL in Illinois where there is snow and hope it feels like sunshine and springtime for her.

Beautiful quilt sunlitensmiles! Love your binding and back too.

More beautiful quilts. Sunliten... what quilting design did you use when you quilted yours? Did you use a DSM?

Love your version of the Grand Illusion SunlitenSmiles! The checks in the border and binding are terrific. It really pops all the other colors and adds a lot of interest to the design.

I am uncertain which block center design to use. My inclination is for smaller bits of color there, but does it work? (square in a square in a square)

quilted with an allover medium stipple using my SINGER 301A , thank you for asking (forgot to take a close-up).

My computer has been down all week...took to Geek squad at Staples...up & running again! Here is my finished quilttop & runner; neither are quilted yet. I will find backing soon, but the binding will be the flower fabric that is in the centers & was my inspiration for the colors; probably use it on the back too, but will have to add other fabric to make it big enough. I am really pleased with how I was able to use extras for top & bottom to make longer. I actually am quite happy with the finished results; thought I would not be!
