Stripes

I've made good progress with my Peacock Lane quilt.  I pieced the quilt backing last night and then pushed on to also baste the quilt sandwich and have it ready for quilting for today:  bobbins wound,  new needle inserted, and machine oiled. 


With an early start today my mission was accomplished!   The quilting is finished and I was even able to decide upon a binding fabric after quite some auditioning.   Now, I have on hand quite a collection of striped fabric, and after searching through my stash for just the right fabric I came to the realization that I do really love those stripes in all manner of styles and colors:


Is there such a thing as too many stripes?  No, I think not. 


I also have a fine selection of black and white stripes varying in width of stripe so that each design creates a very different visual effect.

Back to binding my quilt ...
