Anniversary quilt bound and done

Hello and welcome to my blog!
Another finish to report.  The quilt I made for our wedding, on our bed for (cough, cough) years, was showing wear.  Therefore I made a replacement Anniversary quilt, featuring some of the same fabrics (yes my stash has many long-lived fabrics in it!)  I used Bonnie Hunter's pattern called Crayon box - one of the free patterns on her website.

Gray in the centers of the blocks to calm it down, but it's a busy pattern.  Below, a view of a portion of the quilt.

A grayish batik for the border.  This was quilted by a local long-arm quilter.  I picked a pattern of swirls with hearts, and she did a great job.

Now onto my next project: a retro 1940's pattern that involves cutting pieces from templates, no rotary cutting.

16 patch quilt done done

Done done:  quilted, bound, and labeled.

This post is similar to last week's, only now the 50 by 50 inch quilt  is done done.  I did not have enough of the border feedsack fabric left, so I bound the quilt with a blue feedsack fabric.  Luckily the joins  in the binding did not fall at the corners!

Thanks to this website for teaching me how to smoothly join my binding ends.
