I picked this Denyse Schmidt gingham print from the Picnic and Fairgrounds collection because it had that lovely retro feel to match the top. I was so pleased with my choice, till I got home and went to piece it together.
It didn't take quite as long to piece as I'd thought, but it did make me want to punch something in the face. Hard.
I quilted it in the same grid pattern, but with a red variegated thread this time, to match the backing. And the binding is a red and white candy cane type of pinstripe. The kind that makes you dizzy when you lay out the yardage.
It'll be off to the West Coast in plenty of time for her mum's birthday next month. Hope she likes it!

I see the seam because you forced me to. :). I think you did a great job, the customer won't see it, unless she reads your blog.
Great job! I love the binding and backing choices.
Holy Hannah! Did you ever do a nice job of matching that seam...! I, though a perfectionist, would've done a "meh, good enough."
Impressive, most impressive. You've now been promoted to Jedi seamster.
Ummm, even thinking about matching the seam makes you amazing! I'd probably just slap 'em together and say "that's what you get for picking a quilt that big!" (Wait, what am I saying?...probably?...I do that all the time!...)
Oh, I just love, love, love your patchwork quilts! I must start collecting fabric! I'm "new" so I don't have the variety needed. Again, love!
Love the new banner - you're like the google of crafties!
