Quilt-a-long completed!

Ta-Da! I finally finished the quilt-a-long that I've been working on. I didn't need the finished size to be quite as large as the original, so I pieced my border differently. I love how it turned out though, and by the end of this quilt, my machine quilting skills had VASTLY improved (not to mention my confidence level as well!)

Small Quilt / Wall Hanging

This is a small quilt (or wall hanging size) that I put together to practice my newly-acquired skill of machine quilting. This is a view of the binding. I found this great little tutorial on binding. I'll add a link to it in the sidebar - hopefully soon.
Here's a shot of the fabric I used for the backing.
