It is done! My August Another Year of Schnibbles Canasta Quilt. I am such a boring machine quilter! I just quilted along the diagonals of the baskets and sashing. It reminds me of basket weave, so I thought it would work and be quick.
My LQS was out of the wavy stripe I have in the blocks, but they did have this black and white stripe that I used for the binding.
Striped bindings are a trend I like!
This backing I picked up for $3 a yard back in June and I am kicking myself for not buying all they had, but my mom was the smart one that bought it all! Now, I am looking forward to the September Schnibbles design!
Your quilt is beautiful and your quilting is NOT boring!! I just finished my Canasta quilt too. Thanks for sharing.

Love the finished Canasta quilt! The fabrics in your baskets are bright and cheery... and I'm a big fan of the striped binding. I'm partial to cross hatch quilting... so that makes two of us boring!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the quilting on this one. Such a classic design with the baskets deserves a classic design with the quiltng. You nailed this one just right. And ya, the striped binding, awesome.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is fabulous; love the quilting.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful! Qw just need more time to quilt!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully quilted. I love diagonal lines there is just something about them that balances the quilt. Congratulations on your finish. Thanks for sharing. Stopping by from Crazy Mom Finish Up Friday. Marie (mlismore@optusnet.com.au)
