the bindery
Enough of this procrastination - it's time to put the binding on this quilt and get it sent out to its new home! For the binding, I chose a tone on tone, deep purple print that was in the quilt already. I wanted to frame out that blue/gray sashing and re-emphasize the purple. It is, after all, supposed to be a quilt for someone who loves purple. This rich purple works well with the backing as well as the many purple/lilac shades in the four-patches on the front. Lucky for me, I don't like purple all that much. Otherwise, it'd be very hard for me to part with this one! posted by alison at 1:15 pm | in

That is so beautiful it makes my knees weak - if the recipient doesn't appreciate it, it can always find a good home in Oak Park!
