This little top has sat long enough unfinished. Today was it's turn on Gam; even though only about 24" square! I even have the binding stitched on so I can hand stitch it to the back during evening television viewing. Stitching the binding to the back of a quilt is gratifying. Don't you think?

I like the border fabric on this quilt!
This is a beautiful quilt.....and only 24" you say? How nice would that look with my toy sewing machines, I think I need to make some little quilts :0)
Very nice!! I too like the border.
Happy weekend and congrats on your finish. :-)
So Pretty! I love finishing little projects, except (confession) I am a little too lazy to do the hand stitched binding, it's all done on the machine.
Pretty and cute, and finished! What more could you ask for? Have a great weekend.
It's lovely. I love the border fabric. I really enjoy tacking the binding down by hand.
Congradulations on finishing your quilt. I, too, love to watch tv and hand stitch the binding. I am trying to embroder again for the same satisfaction!
Uh Wow!
I can't really remember what its like to stitch binding to the back. They're stacking up...
It is really pretty - congratulations on a great finish. I enjoy the bindings too. Don't forget the label!
What a beautiful little quilt. Oh it will be so pretty on a table. Love it!
Love it! the quilting is fab too!
I don't know much about longarm quilting obviously 'cause I didn't know you could put a quilt that small on a longarm. Looks great, though.
I think yes! I actually enjoy sewing bindings on. I especially like the quilting you did on this little beauty.
Stitching binding is my favorite!
Very, very pretty, Mary!
It's beautiful. The fabrics make it look so rich. Congrats on a great finish!
I love it! The quilt design is beautiful. It feels great to get a quilt done. I agree I like to do the stitching of the binding while relaxing watching TV.
Beautiful quilt...love the rich border fabric..

Hi Mary!
(clap! clap! clap!) Hooray for your finished quilt! You should enter it in the quilt show over at Cotton Charm Quilts.
Hope you have a relaxing weekend after all of your traveling!
So pretty, love the quilting you did. I find the binding relaxing as well.
What a gorgeous quilt, love the colors. And, by hand ... good for you.

I always love the colors you use in your quilts. This is beautiful. I actually enjoy hand-sewing the binding down on the back of my quilted pieces (although, I must admit I've not done a huge one yet....so my opinion might change after I do that!)
Woo hoo...another finish!
This little guy is gorgeous, MAry. I love the colors.
I love to stitch binding. That to me is 'quilt therapy'...and, THE END.
Wow, 24"?! How cute is that! Love it.
So pretty... the colors are gorgeous.
Your quilt is beautiful. I love the blocks, love the border and love the quilting. Nice job.
Beautiful quilt, and I love the quilting design!!
The paisley border is fantastic! Congrats on a finish on such a warm and perky project. Hand stitching is sometimes very pleasant---but not when you are in a hurry (ask me how I know this :P)
Oh isn't that gorgeous...gosh I need to get sewing! :)
I love the colours of this, and yes, I am another of those who enjoy sewing the binding down on a quilt largely because it can be done in the evenings whilst being with other people.
Great finish!! and yes I am currently binding many projects and it is a pleasure!!
Very cute......and I also like to do the bindings
WOW beautiful quilt and that border is the perfect touch. Yes I love stitching down bindings, in fact I think it's my favorite part of quilting.. Maybe because it means I finished something, LOL.
have a great weekend - hugs - Karen
Beautiful - You're ready for fall - how smart of you! I love that Jo Morton fabric in the border. I wish I had more of that
That is such a striking little quilt. I too love the fabrics & your quilting is wonderful. Would love for you to quilt one of mine.
Yes, I like sewing the binding on while watching tv, it's relaxing to me. Only problem I have is my kitty jumps up from time to time for petting. Makes it hard to sew & pet at the same time. ha ha.
What a pretty quilt! I LOVE hand sewing the back of the binding on a quilt... It's the pat on the back to myself for finishing a project! Happy stitching!
Wow, love it. I do like doing binding too.
What yummy colors!
The quilting is perfect for that quilt. Great border choice too - or did you pick the border first?
I came back to look at the lovely.
Beautiful!
That is wonderful. I love little quilts.
Cute, cute, cute.
Oops! I completely missed this post. What a wonderful little quilt! I love, love, love that paisley border. Great fabrics and, as always, a fabulous quilting job!
That is awesome. TTFN ~Marydon
I just love the quilt, the Jo Morton fabric is wonderful! The quilting you did really makes the quilt shine. Great job!
I love little pieces. So pretty. You did a great job as always.
Wow, so beautiful! I love all of this inspiration...I've got to get all of my tops together for you.
Beautiful. I love the color choices and I also love hand stitching.

What a neat quilt, Mary! Hand stitching the binding in front of the tv while fending off the cat is my favorite part!!
Cheers!
Indeed I do, I love to do the bindings!
Hmm.....I just made a post a now it is missing. Who stole my post? j/k
I really like this little quilt. Sawtooth stars are such sweet little blocks. Your colors are gorgeous. Warm and inviting.
gratifying?? OH YEA!! we were waiting for a house to be built, 3 yrs ago--I had no room to sew at SIL's but I managed to get a top done-I had it quilted recently and tonight I begin hand-stitching the binding! That is if I can stand to have all that on my lap! it is 108 here and I am sitting under fan and air and getting ready to cut a top out! I love the little 24 inch -- I am a star lover! :o) THANKS for sharing!
