For the quilt back I have used one of my favorite prints from the Sherbet Pips collection ~ Scooters in Vanilla Ice. The images (above and below) clearly show the quilting grid created by outlining the seam lines, some multiple times.
Zig-zagging along all of the vertical seam lines was more work than envisioned, but contributes to the finished look of the quilt, and compliments the patchwork tumbler blocks. I wouldn't hesitate doing so again.
For the binding fabric I have used a black and white stripe fabric ~ Michael Miller - Clown Stripe, although this one is a little wider than my standard black/white pin stripe fabric. Love it!
And that concludes my sewing journey for 2011. I am looking forward to spending the next week or so unwinding with family and friends. Of course I will be stopping by here ... (who knows, I may even sew a little something), and have some rather fun things scheduled here for all of my readers to celebrate Christmas/Holidays, and to welcome the New Year!
