Pixel eye finish

Yesterday afternoon I spent a few hours stitching down the binding on what is my first finish of the FAL, which means Q2 won't be a complete failure - get in!!  This morning I took advantage of the sunny weather to get out in the in-laws garden and take some pics.

I am so chuffed with how this quilt has turned out,  mostly because it is the first quilt I have made since taking up sewing that I can say is all my own design.  From start to finish it is completely unique and that feels good to have accomplished.

I quilted it with a curved grid design which can only be described as 'very organic' as I only marked the first curve ;-)

For the back I used scraps of  all the Kona colours some more of my never ending supply of the Ikea number print.

This quilt is going up as a wall hanging above my bed where it can give my hubby a dirty look on a daily basis ;-).

If you fancy making your own Pixel quilt I can't recommend the Caro Sheriden free craftsy course enough.
