Batik Beauty is finished!
Only some labels and it's ready for the Warwick Guild show. This is the first time trying a curved border and bias binding. I'm so happy with the results. #11 on my UFO Challenge list is now checked off.
Also, this is the most quilting I've ever done on one piece. I like my quilts soft and cuddly, but a wall hanging (it measures 50" x 50") can be a little stiff and full of thread.
Moonlit Night is the other quilt I entered in the show. Still on the frame but almost finished and ready for binding. I must say, I love this quilt! It was on my design wall for months and months while I worked on other projects but I didn't mind because I love the fabric (Moda's Luna Notte) and the pattern (Nice Day by Carrie Nelson). This is # 9 on my list. So I'm really working out of order.

A few other sewing and quilting related things are going on here
but I'll save them for another post when I have more time to write.
Many thanks to everyone who wrote such encouraging comments last week! I truly appreciate it.

You have such talent and do beautiful work! I am so impressed...you go girl! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!
Both are beautiful! The scalloped border kooks great. Aren't they fun? They add so much to the quilt. And the one with Luna Notte. I love it, too.
Beautiful quilt! It looks so three dimensional.
I love batiks and that Batik Beauty is well named. Let us know how it does in the show.
