I'll be working on another side of binding tonight on this RSC project I worked on in 2015! This is hand stitched and hand quilted and finished at 90x90. I used 2.5 inch squares from my stash and used a consistent 7th round with the white dot print. I'm so happy this will be finished in 2020... finally! I went with a scrappy binding.... I may have gone a little over board making it as I have over 100 inches of scrappy binding left still! Oops. As you can see, it is kitty approved. Where ever this quilt is, Peanut is on it! He even spent the morning yesterday on this on the bed rather than in his kitty bed next to my laptop like he normally does! Linking up with the
RSC Challenge.

you won't have a lot of binding left over - better to have more than needed then to have to stop and make more once you have started.
I'm not sure what your numbers mean, Deb, but it certainly made a gorgeous quilt!! I can certainly see why Peanut has adopted it as his.
So awesome that you are binding this amazing quilt!
Was Peanut responsible for wrecking the batting when it was on the frame?
He really love this quilt!
Yes, he and Ollie shredded the batting when they were kittens. Hand stitching it together worked.
Number of squares per round to make a 30 inch block.
That's going to be such a great finish! I think a scrappy binding is perfect for it, and sounds like you'll have some leftover to use on another project. So funny that your cat loves the quilt that much!
Yep--looks to me you have made this quilt just for Peanut--i't funny how some cats adopt certain quilts!!
luv, di
Very nice. I like how each 7th row is the same fabric to make it cohesive. Peanut has great tastes.
This turned out so beautifully--what an awesome project you finished...lovely work hugs, Julierose
Beautiful quilt! Peanut certainly seems happy that you made it for him!
Hand stitched and hand quilted! That's a wonderful achievement, well done. It's a fabulous quilt, and as you say, kitty approved too.
