In Another Bind!

2013 was/is to be the year of finishes!

I have survived a bad case of Noro-virus

(I can only assume that nasty bug was that!)

and I am patiently sewing the scalloped-edge binding down,

but it is SLOW going!!

So onto the next project!!

My oldest quilt, started in the 1980's

using some rather old-fashioned Laura Ashley style fabrics

and my Mother's scraps....

I was desperate to find a dark/forest green fabric

with very small white dots to bind the quilt in.

I thought that would tie the quilt together,

but my search was fruitless, SO.... 

I tried out 3 other completely off the wall options

and I think I'm going to go with option number three:

A mid green with a white vine-like leaf design....

The 4 different star patterns all have the same 

green fabric in them, which has a white flower pattern.

So although not the same colour, (or pattern)

somehow I think this fabric

sort of works :)

I held it against all the blocks...

And it looked ok....

so I talked myself out of a dark green...

And I hope to get it bound soon!!

Then it can sit and wait it's turn after the scallops.

Yes, 2013 will yield at least 2 finishes - or else LOL
