Slow Sunday Stitching--Round Robin Quilt

Slow Stitching Sunday on Kathy's Quilts Blog comes round again. 

While the walking foot was still on the machine, and a readied quilt sandwich that had been waiting months for its turn, I smoothed both sides flat and repinned the corners. The few markings needed were done with the Hera tool. 

I quilted in the ditch within the log cabins every four inches crosswise, then along the 12" block rows the long way.  From the leftover binding bin there were few solids, and I did not have any more of the jade green which I'd started the round robin log cabin blocks with.  I pulled all the solid 2.5" strips from my precut drawers, then chose some fat quarters to round out. I really wasn't sure that it would look good, but I'm pleased with it. 

Binding was attached entirely by machine. Where you see binding clips is a Slow Stitching opportunity where I missed catching the edge on the back.  That will be taken care of today.

Backing fabrics.  I like this side too.  That button print has been in stash for a couple of decades--I made my older daughter a dress from it when she was in elementary school!

The lotus looking print was a bargain room purchase a few months ago.  Glad to have this ready to turn in at Guild next month.  There are two other quilt tops/backs needing the same treatment.  I think the walking foot will stay on the machine for now :)
