Folk style sampler done and done :)

I was so anxious to get this quilt washed and on the wall...next thing it's up there, but I hadn't taken a picture.  It's place is on the front stair landing, a great spot for large wall quilts, but no place to get a decent picture.  So this is all that I can share.

I use Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 in all my quilts - I love the crinkly effect that happens after a washing, its easy to quilt with on my home machine, and doesn't require a lot of quilting if I want.

I do hate hand sewing binding, so while I told myself that I wasn't allowed to do any other handwork until the binding was done.  So instead I procrastinated by finishing the centre of Garden at Dusk - I hope to put the borders on today -
