Jane did get all her blocks sewed together and her quilt quilted. I finished my quilt top and stipple quilted it all over. Then I hand stitched the binding on the back of the quilt. Jane and I both finished hand-stitching our bindings on last week.
Jane added a churn-dash block to the upper center of her quilt, and added some greens, golds, and a different pink to tone down all the gray with pink dots fabrics in her quilt. It is a real sampler type quilt with five different nine-patch blocks in it: musket ball, churn-dash, basic, friendship star, and shoo-fly blocks. She quilted it with stitch-in-the-ditch on the central portion with a rectangular lattice work stitch on the green borders. Here I am, posing with my completed nine-patch quilt. It has musket balls, friendship stars, shoo-fly, and basic nine-patch blocks, and a gray and gold plaid inner border that contains the madness. I love love the outer border, which is a cream fabric with stripes and pink and yellow flowers. I really like how the quilts Marsha, Jane, and I made, with some of the same blocks, came out completely different!
