One of my favorite finishes!

I finished the binding on Embroidery 101 Stitch & Quilt Along from Clover and Violet last night and I just love this quilt!!

It measures 59' X 59".
It's hard to see each fun block, so even though you may have seen them here on my blog individually before, here they are in the quilt:










Someone asked how I was going to quilt it - I simply stitched in the ditch on the inside and outside of the white border of each block and then FMQ'd loops on the rest of the quilt.

I used a Bubble Gum Basics red and white floral for the binding and the same Just Wing It by Momo for Moda for the border and the back:
Thanks again to Jennie from Clover and Violet for the fun Quilt Along!
