Step Down Quilt Sashing

Image may contain: indoor

I have finished quilting all the blocks in the Step Down Quilt. I had originally thought I would free motion quilt some loops in the remaining "step" sashing left in the quilt. But I changed my mind and  decided to just quilt straight lines every inch or so. I thought a diagonal in the corner would be fine.

I wish I had decided this earlier. I could have been quilting this all along as I made my way down the quilt. Oh, well! It's not that big a deal. I should be finished with this quilt very soon! I'm still trying to finish my Christmas shopping. This time of year is so busy!!

    1. Thanks, Dawn! I thought about adding a border but decided to keep it as it is. I think the binding will "frame" the whole quilt.

A Couple of Finishes

The Christmas table runners have their binding! I started sewing the binding on the runner on the left. They're not very large so it'...
