One summer project I was happy to finish last week was my one pound challenge quilt, made from thrifted fabrics chosen by someone else.
To keep with the recycled theme I bound it with two leftover scraps of cream colored binding.
It turned out quite pretty, with a lovely romantic vibe I really like.
This was the first time I tried incorporating lace in the patchwork, and I really liked the whimsy of it.
The backing -- made from thrifted fabric from my stash -- worked nicely, too.
Here in shadow you can see all the hand stitching. It did take me a month longer than I'd planned to complete, but such is the state of my hands these days. Every time I finish a project like this I feel like I've won a little battle with my arthritis, so it also gave my spirits a wonderful boost.
