I am sure this sweet and cheerful quilt will bring joy and good luck to the receiving family. You had a gorgeous sunny day - perfect for an outdoor quilt shoot.

I have never been happy with a machine-finished binding I've done, except when I've used the faux-piped/flange style.

And you are right - the binding is so much better now. I know I would have done the exact same thing!

I use painter's tape. I've been told that new tape on not longer than 24 hours leaves no residue.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05981369630696737026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228319710577550585.post-30774322578209278762018-01-27T21:15:43.306-05:002018-01-27T21:15:43.306-05:00It's beautiful, Janine!

I love that you used the Kaffe in each corner and that the dots are inside out! This quilt truly has personality :)<br /><br />And it was just a bit ornery, too, making you re-do the entire binding. The end result was worth the effort, though. I feel for you, since I did the exact same thing recently. Mine was just a placemat, though! But still, you have to make it right when it bugs you :)<br /><br />Love the beach-y glamour shots!

I can only do it if I do the faux binding method. I prefer to hand stitch my bindings down on the back, since they look sew much better. Your's was well worth the effort to restitch it. Great pictures, too.Cheryl's Teapots2Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005480747596617459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228319710577550585.post-9142250987851737952018-01-27T20:57:10.772-05:002018-01-27T20:57:10.772-05:00Ah how I do love our lakes for quilt photo ops, an...Ah how I do love our lakes for quilt photo ops, and for massages for the soul! I love that Lake Michigan has the same snow dunes, albeit a bit bigger, than Lake Erie! And that you called them dunes too. Bet you haven't read my post that shows my quilt against Lake Erie...same issue with too windy for a quilt holder to hold it up with the lake as background! This is a WONDERFUL finish, wonderful quilt, wonderful YOU for making it. You know, if someone said orange and black and green, I'd be like uh okaaayy, but THIS--!! It just sings, LOVE the turquoise in there. I wonder if you'd link this at TGIFF on my blog? I'd love for others to see it.

Taking out the stitching and re-sewing the binding is an example of that. It looks wonderful. I love the colors you used in this project (I spotted the black and white hash tag fabric in there too!) It looks great - and the concentric squares are a cool quilting motif for it. All around, very nice!! I am impressed you could pull all of this from your stash. I am sure I could as well, but it is a challenge to bring the fabrics we have together and come up with a cohesive look. Well done!<br />Love the lake pictures too.
