The Love Quilt is Done
The Love Quilt is done!!! I used two Flirtations charm packs from Moda and then bought solid red, brown, pink and natural muslin to box around the squares. The backing is solid natural muslin and then a row of the other colors for that extra little pretty 
And because I love him so It looks a little misshapen but it lays much flatter in real life.
Not too crazy about the binding as I think the print is too large and would have looked better with smaller dots but I’m leaving it. I actually hand stitched the binding down instead of doing the decorative stitch that I usually do and I was happy with how that turned out.

It’s gorgeous, Baby, just gorgeous!! I love it! I always hand stitch my bindings – kind of like the finishing touch on a labor of love.
I have five quilts that I am finishing. Some of them have been in the works for over ten years. I am putting the borders on and getting them ready to take to the machine quilter.
