Sorry for the crummy pic, but it's icky rainy here today and hopefully I can get a better pic when I can get someone to hold it up for me. I washed it and here it is just out of the dryer all krinkly and lovely! I am glad I went with the dark brown binding, that was definitely the right choice I think! Hubby says it looks like a stained glass window :) So, maybe this is ''stained glass argyle''? Still debating on the name!!! Not all my quilts get names, so maybe it will always just be 'the argyle quilt', LOL.
I tell ya, my middle finger is SORE this morning from hand sewing the binding down! I hate to use a thimble, and I ended up poking the eye of the needle into the end of my finger at least twice! OUCH! I wish they made a thimble that was thin like tape, but strong! I could use it if I could tape it onto my finger - I have those leather 'dots' and those are OK, but they end up sliding around! and the needle catches the edge of them sometimes. I wish they were a tiny bit larger and thinner.....
Another fabulous finished quilt! Yippee! It's lovely and I agree - that dark brown sets off the colors beautifully! I think I need to get a bit more expereince befoie I tackle diamonds, but I hope to tackle one soon! Well done!
