I have a Ziploc bag that is full of left over bits of binding. I took out all the green bits. Cut them in half lengthwise and sewed them together. I found that made a nice width for a vine. As you can see I didn't quite have enough to go all the way around the quilt. So I'll be making a little more from scraps in the bin. I need to adjust my vine in a few places but I am liking it. It will give me some hand work to do while I wait in the Dr. office tomorrow.Wednesday, March 4, 2009
I went without sashing when I sewed my blocks together. I might make another set of blocks and put sashing with them. I really enjoyed the mindless sewing involved this this quilt and, I have plenty of scraps. I have a Ziploc bag that is full of left over bits of binding. I took out all the green bits.

Oh I love it with the vine winding around it. Very, very pretty.

the applique vine adds a real sense of "old fashioned" to me, I really like its effect with the scrap blocks....
It looks great without sashing. I was one who said sashing, but It looks terrific. Going with your gut instinct paid off. I hope all goes well with you at the doctor's office.
The winding vine really ties it all together. It looks great! I hope that you don't have to wait long in the doctor's office!
I really like how it is turning out! Great way to use up the scraps!

Beautiful quilt Em.I really like it without sashing and the vine is perfect.Wishing you the best at the doctor.
The quilt looks great. Why don't you fill the space between the ends of the vine with some flowers?
Your scraps all looks so great together! the vine is a brilliant idea :)
you are inspiring me still to use up my scraps!

This is my favorite kind of quilt and teh appliqued border will provide a great contrast.

I love it! You've put it together so nicely, and it looks just like something that ought to be on an antique bed.
Turned out great so far. Love the vine too. Will you add any leaves or flowers?
What a good lesson for us all...

Oh Em, it really turned out so nice...I want to do this when I have enough scraps one day...I am still stash building.
man, I totally dig this!!! It's fantastic, fun and so healing. The vine treatment is PERFECT to wrap it all together with love.
The vine is perfect - exactly what your mindless quilt needed! I'm so glad you thought of it because it just sets off the blocks. blessings, marlene
