The idea was to "prove" that I'd finished the quilting all the way to the edges and corners.<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words about the quilt. I love mixing prints, plaids, and plains. I don't suppose it works to the eyes of most viewers but I like the mix. The block pattern evolved, element by element, with the red "wings" first, then the sashing, and then I decided white stars would be a good idea. I think it's turned out well but I am looking forward to finishing it so I can photograph the whole thing. But I have to choose a binding color first -- reds, tans/creams....<br /><br />The binding will probably be my one monthly goal for July. You wouldn't think it would take a month to finish a binding but with other activities going on, it could be one of those things I set aside unless I focus.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and leaving such kind comments about the quilt, Susan.

I keep going back and forth between a red binding or a cream/tan binding (like the colors in the blocks). Hmmm.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment.

Right now I'm trying to choose binding color. It will be scrappy, but I'm not sure about lights/creams, reds, or blues. When an edge has just two colors, I have trouble deciding.<br /><br />Thanks for your kind comments.

I love that you mixed prints and plaids, too. Kudos to you for doing so much this month.
