The experiment -

 

 

Was a success! - 

 

I got the binding made -

 

And the quilt bound on Christmas Eve - 

 

Just in time for Christmas - 

 

 

 

It came out to 77" x 100" -

 

Which is much larger than I usually make - 

 

So the right side is bunched up in these photos - 

 

I love the contrast in this Connecting Threads collection of fabrics - 

 

And their "Big and Bold" pattern from years ago - 

 

I set big "chunks/slabs" of fabric on the diagonal on the back - 

 

To contrast with the "straight" setting on the front - 

 

 

My camera makes the RED look ORANGE in these photos - 

 

But it is a beautiful RED - 

 

And with the BLACK and WHITE - 

 

They are perfect for something Big and Bold - ;)) 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
