Slow Sunday Stitching -- Darting Birds Binding

 This week I focused on finishing the binding on my Darting Birds mini quilt.  This was a mini QA on facebook.  Pattern is designed by Kathleen Tracy.


Above it is in the piano lab at the school of arts.  Students at this school are talented in so many ways.  It's impressive to watch.  One side of the binding is fiished.

Next it went with me to this special K-2 classroom.  Another side was finished.


It won't be long now until this project is finished.  I also had time to work on my blue orphan block project.  I started quilting the border with just little "e's".  I thought I would experiment with a filler by putting lines in them (bottom pic).  I like the border with the filler so much better.  I didn't mark the filler lines.  I'm just experimenting as I go.  I'll just call it "organic" stitching.  LOL.






I'm linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching here.
