Old Town, FINSHED--post eight

Sleeve and backing fabric

I'm celebrating a FINISH which is six months ahead of when Bonnie Hunter will announce the next mystery! Documenting this finish was goal number three on my May list. I finished it last month; but, ran out of days to post so saved the Ta-Da moment for this month.

Label and binding view

It is quilted with a paisley edge to edge pattern using a soft yellow thread. The back is too busy to show the pattern. Originally, I had planned a blue/aqua binding; but, decided a red one was better. I didn't have enough of the reds I had used in the project. In my stash, I had a Christmas print that worked so that was what I used.

My daughter likes to garden so I chose a label that had a garden vibe and wrote the pertinent information.

Finished front

I used 21.25 yards of fabric from my stash to make this project. I did buy backing fabric so that piece of fabric didn't stay long in my stash at all. Now, if only I could use other fabrics as quickly!
