A late Friday Finish ~ TGIFF

I finished my String-A-Hex quilt. Stitched the last of the binding on after work today. You can find my tutorial for the blocks here. For more information see this post when I finished the top.

String-A-Hex

Stats
size: 47" x 51"
pattern: String-A-Hex
piecing: 50wt white aurifil and used up a bunch of random bobbins
Quilting: free motion figure eight quilting with 50wt white Aurifil on my home machine

Close up of the figure 8 free motion quilting.

The backing is a print from Hobby Lobby. I thought it perfectly mirrored the pattern on the quilt top. I also added a strip of gray flannel along the side.

The quilting shows up beautifully on the back. The binding is Chicopee ladder dot in fuchsia. Love this print.

    What a fabulous design! I love how the different white rings add sparkle, and that the rainbow colors are arranged for contrast. Really beautiful. And you're right, the backing is perfect!
