I finally finished this quilt started way back last year.
It has been sitting in my UFO pile for way too long, basted, just waiting to be quilted and bound.
Of course, once I got going, it was a pretty quick finish. Just a day or 2.
It ended up pretty big .... 78 inches square.
I went for the fancy shmancy binding again after using it on this quilt.
I really like the effect of this technique!
For the backing, I have used a gorgeous Kaffe Fassett floral print.
It sits very happily in the quilt stack in our lounge room, waiting to be snuggled under on a cold wintry day.
I fear these are coming all too quickly. Where did you go Summer?

yum. so yummy. Can't beleive you had it all basted- you must have a million safety pins!!
Did we have summer? :)
This quilt is so amazing mate!
Great choice on the backing.
Isn't funny how we put things off for so long then once we start them again, they are finished in no time!
This is absolutely stunning Andi, I love it. I've actually just started my own quilt like this and am enjoying the process. I like the way yours is so rich and warm looking.
What lovely, lovely bright, happy colors.
What exactly do you with the binding and ?piping/cording?
It certainly unusual.
Hugs, Gerry
It's beautiful! Love the colors and the backing is perfect!
Andi, It is stunning - I love the assymetrical design and the colors are sumptious. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous quilt.

Anna
I love everything about this one Andi, the colours are eye punching, the fancy binding/piping are brilliant, your quilting is beautiful and of course, how could I not love the Kaffe backing, esp in that colourway!!! xo
Just Beautiful...
It's gorgeous !!
Thanks for adding the piped binding tutorial ... I can see myself using it too .
Gorgeous!
Love the stack of quilts too, your family are lucky! We (currently) only have one quilt for our living room, so it's first in best dressed.
I love it! I think its my favourire quilt. I love how the focal point is off to the side. There's probably a proper quilting name for that. And I love the colours too. I do not love the idea of the colder nights though ugh!
Hope you've had a great day Patch Andi. xx
that's better ;)That's an absolute beauty, Andi!
That quilt is just gorgeous!! I started collecting yellows for a very similar quilt a little while ago - yours is so inspiring!!
