I had fun with the SAHRR.
The final finish is at the end of this post.
I hand stitched the binding, something I rarely do.
Total machine binding is my go-to finish.
But I was concerned that the thread would not match,
so I hand stitched using clips, size 10 straw needle and the cranberry thread.
Above I checked that batting and backing before pin basting the layers.
During construction I tried out different block configurations.
Half square triangles make so many different patterns.
Which ones to use?
A quarter square log cabin block.
The label for documentation.
The back is an 18 inch width of fabric from the Cats of Paris collection.
Ta-Da! The finished wall hanging.
So pleased with it.
Kaleidoscope blocks, stars, hour glass, Johnny in the Corner,
Crown, more hour glasses, quarter log cabin, sliced block, and pinwheel.
Thank you Gail and your team for helping us create our own quilts.
Happy Sewing!
