Over the weekend, I finished the border (machine quilting) and the binding on my propeller quilt. I choose three straight lines for the borders. I didn't feel anything specific calling out to me and since my machine quilting skills are below minimal I decided for Safe and Simple.
I choose a checked yellow binding. I thought it brought out the yellow in the border and since yellow is never my first choice...I went out on a limb. Don't get my wrong, I love yellow. I adore yellow: sun + bananas + flowers + hair color + yield signs. You name it yellow and I love it. But when I look through my closet or my stash yellow is hardly seen. Maybe I need to make an all yellow quilt just to prove to yellow that I like her. Brilliant!!
FYI ~ these pictures do not do this quilt justice. My camera was really acting up.

It's adorable Pamela! That's such a cute block!
In love with this quilt!
What a beautiful quilt. I made a 'quilt in a day' that took me a year! I'm so impressed by a beautiful quilt.
Totally gorgeous! Wish I had half the sewing skills!
