A speck of quilting







Before Christmas I finished up the quilting on my Speck.





Just some quilting in the ditch to keep it simple.






I mixed a few mini-charms for this one.





My favorite part has to be the striped binding.

I worked hard to get the stripes to match up all the way around.

I would do something like that.




I do like the backing too.

When the backing, the binding, and the top work perfectly together it makes me happy!

    Yes I like the binding too. Well worth the effort of matching the stripes. Well done- a good finish.

    LOVE this Christmas quilt! I'm that way with striped binding, too - gotta match the ends meticulously! Like anyone but me would notice, but it bugs me, y'know? :)

    There is nothing better than striped binding--I just love it. Wonderful & fun schnibble. Are you keeping it out longer or putting it away until next year?
