A Finish! It Feels So Good!!
This is my latest finish! There are a lot of firsts on this quilt: my first queen size, the largest quilt I've made thus far, the first time using double sided binding (which I love!!!).
This is the Falling Charms quilting tutorial from Missouri Star Quilt Co. using Kate Spain's Good Fortune. It is queen sized and approximately 94x105. I accidentally lost some width from a miscut that I didn't catch until it came back from the quilter's.
The quilting was done by a long armer with a pale purplish thread.
I love how it turned out and will definitely be using this pattern again.
The backing is solid with the little floral you see above. I also created double sided binding for it since the front and back were so vastly different. It was totally easy and came together so well!!!

What a lovely quilt; I love Good Fortune!
I just saw 2-sided binding for the first time this year (in a demo at a quilt show), but never all the way around a quilt. THAT IS AWESOME! Thanks for sharing!
Beautifully done!
Have a great weekend. :)
Finishes make you feel so fine! Congrats! I haven't tried the double sided binding yet.
Really lovely quilt. Congratulations on this finish. I'm gonna have to look into the 2-sided binding.
Love it! I just might have to use that pattern myself at some point.
Very pretty - great fabric choices!
What a pretty quilt! I love the fabrics and the backing. Very nice!
Pretty! Love the fabrics in it. Kate Spain is one of my very favorites.
I am a Kate Spain-aholic and love the Good Fortune line! I've made the Falling Charms quilt too and really like the tute and pattern. Such a beautiful quilt! Wow! Double sided binding?
