The particular step that was tripping me up on this one was the binding. I wanted it to blend with the quilt top and a matched pieced binding seemed like the best option. And the one that was the fiddly-est and most challenging.
Some money shots of the quilting... because it makes me just so danged happy!

It's beautiful. It looks like so much fun. At first, I thought your were also matching the angles on the binding. And I said to myself, this girl is carzy. Your imperfection is perfect.
