I've been a bit absent this week around here, I think I've had a #greatukfabricdestash hangover! IG was full of UK based people selling their fabric wares on Sunday night and I might have purchased a few bits! And have been enjoying stalking the postie for the last few days.
Anyway, I have been trying to fit sewing bits in around the crazy first part of this week. Tuesday consisted of.
Piecing a backing for my Pink Wonky Star quilt, then basting and starting the quilting on it.
I finished up the quilting yesterday, but that leaves the question of binding.
What do I pick?
Scrappy, grey sketch, multi-coloured remix or some Joel Dewberry honeycomb?
I may just go into shock if I actually cut into the delicious remix, I've pulled it out at least 10 times to use on different projects and every time it's been deemed too pretty to cut into and popped safely back into the stash!
I'm still ignoring putting my #economyblocks together and dare I say it, wondering if I shouldn't make a few more……..
I'm linking up for the first time this year with some lovely Brit Sewists!

It looks great! I would go with the grey or the Joel dewberry :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the spot in the top left photo.
ReplyDeleteI love the remix! So we're going to be no help at all. *g*
ReplyDeleteI would go for the dark pink top left. Lovely stars quilt! I think I am going with pieced backings from here on in - so many times have bought the correct backing (for a fortune!) only to be left with a quilt's worth of scraps and large pieces at the end that would have made a perfect backing...
ReplyDeleteI like all of them :-) Nice quilting!
ReplyDeleteGrey I think, but honeycomb a close second!
ReplyDeleteI think the remix one, I love the cute colours and think it will really frame the quilt just perfectly, but what do i know?!?!
ReplyDeleteI can smugly say I didn't buy a thing in the destash, and I even managed to shift a few things. Probably a good job, as the Christmas sales nearly did for my postie ;o)
ReplyDeleteI like the one with the circles in a square...or the grey.
ReplyDeleteLike the grey Joanne, like you I succumbed to the fabric destash too, just one more parcel to come!
ReplyDeleteI think I like the grey best but if you ask me again tomorrow I might have a different answer! Good luck choosing!
ReplyDeleteI love the remix! But you have probably already decided by now :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm probably too late so I won't comment on the binding for this quilt but I do think that it would be criminal of you not to use the remix to bind your economy squares!
