The plan was to have a another project to keep me occupied, however, the charcoal light denim that I have used is a little too heavy for hand quilting (the way I would have liked to) so I have already put this one together and machine quilted it. My sister gave me the denim years ago and I've finally put it to good use. I'm thinking of a black & off white striped binding, but I could change my mind once I'm in a fabric shop. As this one will be finished quite soon looks like I'm going to have to start on something else...
Before quilting I cut some holes in the top, put some backing behind and did some stitching around them with sashiko thread. The edges were left raw so they could fray nicely after a couple of washes.
that is so lovely - I love the stitching - lucky Flipp! xxoo
