I finished my split 9 patch quilt this morning. I used two fabrics on the back and used scraps from those for the binding. I used two different colors of thread for the quilting - white on the white areas and green on the colored areas. By doing this the thread isn't a stark contrast against the quilt. A varigated thread might have done the same thing but I chose to use what I had rather than go buy some. Many of the blocks in this quilt were from a swap I did a couple years ago so it's nice to get this quilt finished. Size: 54 x 72"
This is the largest quilt I've done on my sewing machine. It was a challenge at first but it got easier as I went.
