Ok, so some of the curves aren’t the smoothest, and I totally failed at keeping my speed constant, so the stitches are all different lengths, but I’m still very pleased with it for a first attempt. And I reckon the recipient, who’s not a quilter, won’t even know that those are errors 🙂
It’s a grey and drizzly day, and not at all ideal for photographing quilts, but I finished binding the Little Squares quilt last night, and I’m off to Wellington tomorrow (these are completely unrelated events, except that being in Wellington will mean I won’t get another chance to take a better photo of the quilt…

A belated Merry Christmas (or celebration of your choice) to everyone – sorry I didn’t post sooner, but it’s been a busy (and very social) week.
