My initials, the B is a little wonky, but hey that's okay!
A close up of my hand stitching and the binding.
So yes I decided to hand stitch it. I didn't want to jump into machine stitching, it is very intimidating! And I love how the hand stitching turned out. It took a bit longer then i hoped but it makes it that much more special. And the binding I'm impressed on how it came out. I watched a couple videos on you tube and tada! No problem there, i winged it on the corners, but it came out nicely.
So there you have it. I'm now addicted and I want to make more! My next idea is all polka dots! Or hexagons using the Moda Fandango line by Kate Spain. I'm so excited!
Make sure to check out other Friday finishes over on Amy's blog!
Peace & Love J-me

Congratulations on completing a wonderful first quilt!!!!

Gorgeous! I love the vibrant colors against the black sashing. And cool on the hand-quilting! Although I am finally learn to FMQ, I do hand-quilting too. It does make the quilt special. Way to go on your first quilt!
i absolutely love it!!!
Hello, I got to your lovely quilt via Sew 'n Tell Friday. What a beautiful quilt and your first? When I read about your Math degree, it struck a nerve. I am a retired accountant, C.P.A. and a quilter. Do you think the quilting scratches your math itch? That's what I think. Wonder how you feel about it. To me, quilting is math with color! Keep on, your are amazing.
Beautiful! Very nice job on your finished quilt. Enjoy and treasure it. Thanks for sharing. Happy Sewing! :o)

Yes it is my first one ever and it took a long time. For this one i just followed a patern, but for my next one i have to do the math to figure out how big i want it to be and how much yardage i need. Yes i think that it scratches my math itch! plus it's a lot of fun!
Yay! It's finished! Congrats! I am impressed that you did it all by hand, my hand quilting project is still languishing at the bottom of a heap under my desk. Nice work!
