Over and Under, Round and Round!

To enter my Michael Miller Giveaway, click here.  Giveaway closes Friday 17th January.

After some deliberation over borders and binding, I finally got my Over and Under class sample finished!

I like how the colours show up in this early evening shot!
The Happy Go Lucky fabric I had originally ordered for the border just didn't work, so I went with a skinny navy polka dot and then used up the jelly roll leftovers.

I have a snuggly fleece on the back, and went with off centre concentric circles for the quilting.  Fleece definitely makes the quilt heavier to quilt, but at least this isn't a big one (60" x 60").

My first choice for the binding would have been red, but I didn't have the right shade of red so played it safe and went with a navy solid instead.

All in all I'm pleased with how this one has turned out, though it still needs a wash and doesn't hang great because of the fleece.  But when the class is finished and it is then dragged around a few rooms in my house by my kids, I really don't think either of those things will be an issue!

The pattern for this quilt is available in Kim Brackett's book 'Scrap Basket Sensations'

    Love it, this is so visually stunning. I can't imagine how hard those circles must have been. The scrappy borders are fun too.

    It's beautiful, Judith, and I bet the fleece makes it an especially cosy, functional quilt!

    Love this! And I really like the way that you quilted this one...I have only used fleece as a backing one time and plan to use it again in the future.
