Whew!
Look what I just finished with a day to spare!
Yes, I just put the last few stitches on the binding one day before I need this banner for my booth at the Westside Quilter's Quilt show.
The paper-pieced letters are by Quiet Play.
They are the Geometric Upper Case and you can find the pattern here.
The letters were all made using solid-colored scraps. I am pretty pleased with how it turned out but it certainly isn't perfect.
On the back, I used a soda can print a friend gave me. (She actually gave it to me for the backs of a few placemats but it worked so perfectly here I couldn't resist.) For the binding, I found the perfect striped fabric in my stash.
It certainly is colorful!
Every time I make a paper-pieced project, I swear it the last one I will ever do.
This banner was no exception!
I am so pleased I got it done in time!
Linking Up:
Connecting Threads just got in the Woolies Flannel. Boy are they pretty!
They have designed some lovely quilts using them. And the kits for those designs are available.
