Seams

So it's been quite awhile for an  update. That's because I've been busy sewing. Look at all those seams! Last month I worked on the dreaded "making the quilt sandwich". I stuck with some simple staight lines following the pattern for my quilting. I decided to use grey thread on the top and brown in the bobbin. Now I'm finishing up the binding. I searched through my fabric collection trying to find just the right color binding to work with both the front and the back of the quilt. Surprising, I ended up using some fabric from an antique kimono that I collected. I have a hoard of antique and vintage japanese fabrics, but that's for another post. The fabric is indigo blue with tan pin stripes. I'm almost done with this king size quilt hurray!
