Just in the Nick of Time

 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.  

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:





They have designed some lovely quilts using them.  And the kits for those designs are available.

Congratulations! This is SO amazing! I understand about paper piecing always being the last time you work with it as I followed you along the construction of this project but look at this banner! It looks like it is made of gems sparkling every which way. Absolutely fantastic! Masterpiece banner! Bravo! ;^)
