I finished Simple Abundance Hotdish (using blocks from the Jelly Roll Quilt Along) but was waiting for something other than dreariness to take a photo.
Well, here's what you get:
It's really not as wonky as it looks. The photos where it was laying flat had the color all wrong. I (obviously) quilted this myself using my own different versions of FMQ in each block after stitching in the ditch around each one. I had fun quilting it.
Here is the fun back:
Everything is Simple Abundance.

I did the binding completely by machine which I often do. It's different than anyone else I've seen in blogland and here is how it looks from the front:
If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll try to do a tutorial after the new year on my method of totally machine binding. You may not want to use it for quilts that will be judged or in a show, but there are many times this might work for you too.

I have lots of gift sewing left to do, so I'd better get busy. Have a great weekend.

I would love to have you share that machine binding tutorial!! Looks wonderful and like hand stitched!! Congrats on your finish!!
Your quilt looks great and the quilting is lovely! I hope you do a tutorial on your binding method. It looks intriguing!
I'd love it if you did a tutorial on machine binding. I've always done them by hand because when I try it by machine it looks horrible. Congrats on your prize and another fabulous finish.

Wonderful quilt. I would love to see a tutorial on how you do your binding. Hope to see it after the first of the year.
I'm with everyone else...Excellent quilt and I would LOVE to see a tutorial on your binding method. I'm trying to find a machine method that I like...I just can't get into the hand binding thing ;)
You get an A my dear. Binding this time of year paid off. It really is cute. Good for you. Love it.
Your looks great. I like the colors.
I would love to see a tutorial. I have tried to do mine binding all by machine and it looks bad.
Congrats on your gifts.
This came out great, Mary. I would like to know how you do that machine binding. Maybe I could give poor PTM a binding holiday!!
Nice works, but I'm interested in the chart for the nice pillow, or the foto. Thanks. holly jolly bingo. Loredana
Your Jelly Roll Quilt looks super! I still need to put my top together:)
Found you through the Blog Roll at Holly Jolly Blog Bingo. Glad I did. I would love to be able to put binding on by machine if it would look as nice as yours. I will certainly check back here. I love your quilt.
Gotta run, lots to do.
Happy Holidays.

I'd love a good binding tutorial (by machine). I like doing it by hand but I'd love to know a quick BUT CUTE way to do potholders and stuff. I really hate most machine bindings but yours looks great.
