Binding

I ended up picking out some of the quilting on my Tradewinds quilt. I was going to stitch double echo lines along the seams but once I had done a few I didn't like the look of it -  I think because there is so much going on in this quilt as it is colour-wise. So I have stuck with the single echo lines:


Not all my points meet as neatly as this, but I am thankful that at least some of them stand up ok to the camera close-up! I had some difficulty choosing fabric to bind with, but in the end I settled on a nice turquoise. It is one of my favourite colours so I'm hoping it will work some colour-magic!
