Slow Sunday Stitching--see more projects on Kathy's Quilts blog.
After I finished the teal border on the Lori Holt Stitch card project, I decided to add a few tiny strawberries in the corners. I showed the first on a prior post, but ran into counting issues and it has been in time out the past week. I think I will just go ahead and leave it be, add the last strawberry and see!
Other hand stitching today is quilt binding on a baby girl quilt made from 2.5" strips. The blocks finish at 6". My arms got quite a workout turning this quilt 1000 times to ditch stitch all the shapes.
I had matching backing from the Meadowbloom line; I previously made quilts for another relative's granddaughters.
For the binding, I saved the light print strips that matched the background.
All ready to stitch down on the back. The sun is coming out so perhaps I will enjoy stitching on the patio.

Such a gorgeous quilt for a baby girl. The backing fabric is so very pretty. I can well imagine sore arms in quilting this pretty.
The baby quilt is really cute. Hope you got in some nice patio stitching.
Very pretty, baby quilts are always so nice to stitch, and then gift.
OOh! Such a pretty backing on this quilt too! The colors match the front so nicely!
Nice baby quilt......
