Overs & Unders Over and Out!

It's finished!

Overs and Unders 004

Yesterday I showed you the quilt top of Kim Brackett's Overs and Unders pattern I'm making for mum's 70th birthday. 

I had a productive day yesterday and got this lap size quilt quilted and bound.

Overs and Unders 005
Finished size 60" x 60"
I decided to free motion the quilt, playing it safe with a large organic stipple!  I was going to add some applique flowers to the star centres, but now that I see the quilting through them, I think it would be too fussy.

Overs and Unders 006

I machine sewed the binding down for speed, as I've still loads to do before our exhibition on 9/11.

All I need is a label for this quilt and it's another tick off my humongous list! Fingers crossed mum will like it when she gets it in a couple of weeks time.

    beautiful, your mum will be very pleased. J, did you really do all quilting and binding in one day?
    Your shoulders must be aching, you should be going for my back massage/facial this morning and not me! x

    It's lovely Judith! I think your Mum will love it. I was wondering where I might find the pattern, then realised I have Kim Brackett's books. I really like the design of this quilt.
