This was from the Ladies of the Evening class I attended in March. I added in 8 extra blocks using fabric from my stash. It didn't take long to finish it up since I had pieced the borders in April.
I was sewing some BOM kits for guild meeting in April and realized how similar one of the fabrics was to my border fabric. I emailed the BOM coordinator and she had some extra fabric that I could trade. I had looked for binding fabric for about 15 years and there it was right in the guild stash!Binding is one of my favorite parts of quiltmaking, so I will enjoy working on it during the cooler evenings this week.
Hop on over to Judy's blog and see what other quilters have on their design wall today.

Oh a finised quilt and a hand quilted quilt. That must feel awesome. Someday when the kids are grown and gone I will hand quilt a quilt. They all look great! Hope everyone stays healthy!
Good job, I love the buzz saw pattern. Good job finishing.
What a wonderful feeling to finish. I also enjoy doing the binding. Probably it's the sense of completion that comes with it.
Congratulations on the finishes! It must feel great to finish a hand quilting project after so many years! You have my permission to eat lots of chocolate today to celebrate!
Great quilts! And such a sense of accomplishment. I, too, love finishes but I really don't enjoy doing the binding. And now that it is hot here, it is hard to sit under a quilt for as long as it takes to sew it on. But I do it.
That is a lot of finishes. I'm sure that can only mean one thing, time to start something new! The buzz saw quilt looks great. I hope the quilting goes well. How funny that you found just the right binding fabric after all this time.
Good way to end May or begin June! :-) Love the buzz saw quilt. I have the same floral fabric that you used in your hand quilted project.
Wohoooo! 18 years in the making and now finished - this must feel incredible! Good for you! Persistence is the name of the game...
Way to go on the finishes. Love that buzz saw quilt.
Love those scrappy buzz saw blocks.
Love your flimsey...the soft muted tones play so nicely together!
ohh..I like all the things you've got going on there
Love the buzz saw quilt, great job...that reminds me, mine's been at the quilter's awhile now....I sure would like to have it back home!
