The Fair and Square Quilt

It's done and dusted.  As usual, I have taken loads of photos, and as such here follows one of those picture posts.  Enjoy!

Quilting the Fair and Square Quilt went remarkably well and dare I say I think I've got the whole cross-hatching thing down pat.


My sewing machine is in fine form, no skipped stitches and beautiful tension, and therefore really nice stitch definition.  It does help to have the sewing machine on your side!

Binding:


As usual machine stitched binding:


For the binding I just couldn't go past the white "honeycomb" spot on a black background.  It frames the quilt top and coordinates perfectly with the quilt backing.


The backing fabric also turned out to be a great choice.  The creamy background matches the solid fabric (Kona Cotton - Snow) used predominantly in the quilt top perfectly.  This large scale backing print is from the Soiree range by RJR Fabrics (2008).


The Fair and Square Quilt is now listed in my Etsy Store.
