I finished up my quilt that was started at our FAB retreat in August. This quilt was a finished flimsy on August 16 http:\/\/silverthimblequilting.blogspot.com\/2009\/08\/rooster-strip-twist-flimsy.html<\/a>. Now this quilt is quilted and bound. That must be a record for me–2 months to quilt and bind.<\/p>\n

Cher kept me company while I put the binding on this one. There is nothing like a friend to keep you focused on the task at hand. Cher has finished her Strip Twist as well and I believe she has already gifted her quilt to the lucky recipient. http:\/\/cherzoe.blogspot.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> I used to use muslin to back my quilts. I have now decided that the backs need to be darker in colour than beige or white. Now I look for fabric for backing my quilts that will not show the tell tale signs of wear that quilts get with loving use over time.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I love the colour of the fabric on the back of this quilt–I am calling it Carmel. The picture doesn’t do it justice as it has a wonderful swirl pattern to it.<\/p>\n
