No quite finished, I have not yet found the right binding. I could just use black but a friend suggested a diagonal stripe so that's what I am hoping for. The one ordered online turned out to be the wrong colors, so it's onward to a new search.
There are two layers of batting, Quilter's Dream Green on the bottom and polyester on top for quilting definition.
I quilted it up quickly last night and this afternoon with freehand design, using a gold, shiny embroidery thread.
The other three paper pieced blocks went on the reverse side, and I made no attempt to try and match the position of the blocks, that would have been impossible.
So the quilting looks a bit random here, but the thread is a good match so it isn't obnoxious!
Glad to be almost done with this project, next up on the longarm is Angela's "Smith Mountain Morning".

Well, it is a lovely quilt after all...mostly because you are SO clever and do such a good job with the quilting! I love the use of the gold thread.
I love this one. It's like a "pin wheel" quilt.
I also love the pattern of the quilting.
WELL DONE!
