A close up of the binding.
The backing is a wonderful paisley print on fleece, but there is no batting in this one, so it's not overwhelmingly heavy. I think she will enjoy it, and I'm glad to get it done. I do hate to have things unfinished. (So we won't talk about the other things that are not finished yet. Okay?)
Note, also, the lovely tomato plant (that I need to tie to its support pole). The garden is coming along nicely out there. It's summer here now. I don't care what the calendar says, it IS summer. Early summer. Not the brutal heat of later in the season, but still hot days and not-at-all-cool nights. Ah, Houston. Got to love it! And I do. I've lived here for over forty years. As we transplants to Texas like to say, "I wasn't born here, but I got here as soon as I could!"
I'm also trying to finish the quilt I promised for an auction our young people at church are having to raise money for a trip they are taking this summer. The top is pressed now. Time to sew on the borders. Moving right along!
I do hope you are having a wonderful day doing whatever pleases you most.
Hugs and kisses,

What a great post!!! I totally dig the Christmas quilt - the backing is very pretty. What a great choice. I like how you placed it there with the tomato plant. Pretty pretty pretty.
And gosh those photos of your work with the batiks is adds interest. I like how you did that. Nice work my friend. The composition and all that sewing, too.
What's the problem? Christmas is months away. You are early for this Christmas :)
Good to see it finished and looking wonderful. Love the backing fabric.
And good luck with the batik quilt!
And I see you put your new toy to good use on the Christmas quilt , both quilts look very nice, especially the snuggly Christmas one.
Such beautiful quilts!! It was 106 here yesterday.......I must have missed spring...LOL
You ARE moving right along -- I think you must be on steroids, you finish so many quilts! I can't believe your tomatoes are so big -- I'm hoping to plant a few tomorrow!
Nice to see the Christmas quilt done. Great accomplishment. She will love it.
