Binding and Borders

My Sutton Grange came back from the quilter this week with all this beautiful quilting highlighting my applique. Pam does such a great job.

 
Then I set to and got the binding sewn on. Finished!
I had no sooner got my quilt pegged up on the line and the wind blew and the rain came on, such a change from yesterday.


 
 
 
Yesterday was hot and sunny 30C, so my Briar Hill with it's borders on has a few shadows from the trees. I found this perfect fabric, Pomegranate, in my stash. I had bought it to use for another pattern,  but fortunately the other quilt didn't get made, because it is so perfect for this quilt.

I agree. The pomegranate is perfect choice for Briar Hill. Too bad for the other quilt. Congrats on gorgeous finishes.

Lovely both of them. I feel so ashamed not to finish things when I see lovely work like this.
