This is the second of three quilts that I recently completed for my customer that were pieced by her Mom.
In my imagination, her Mom was using up her stash or perhaps her scrap bins to make the three quilts as they are definitely scrappy. She tied all of her blocks on this one together with inset triangles and border with the same butterfly border.
I chose the pantograph Rhododendron which added softness against the angles as well as coverage of the piecing.
The backing chosen for this quilt is absolutely gorgeous and a perfect fit for this quilt.
I found this beautiful dark green fabric for the binding and cutting the strips on the binding added a little more dimension than cutting straight on grain would have given.
I personally like to make my bindings 2 1/4” and use the edge of my walking foot as my guide when attaching the binding to the front of the quilt.
When I make bindings for my customers and or attach them to their quilts for them to hand sew down I cut the strips to their preference as 2 1/4” can be a little more challenging to stitch down.
