Here it is – the last of the quilting for this project. I am pleased with how it came out and now all that is left is to finish sewing the binding. What was really neat is that the fabric for the binding is some teal fabric I had on a bolt in the sewing [...]

The block on the left has oak leaves and acorns in the pattern…
