I finished the binding on this little quilt while we were traveling home from Washington state last week. I went round and round on a name for it. I finally settled on "Over the Rainbow," because I like to name quilts after songs and that song mentions both rainbow and star, so it seemed appropriate.
It is machine quilted on my new Moxie XL long-arm quilter. I used rainbow variegated Isocord thread on the top and black cotton thread from Hobby Lobby on the back. I quilted it in an all-over meander pattern. I'm still working on getting the tension just right, but I'm really pleased with how it turned out.
I decided to make the label for this quilt with my embroidery machine, which currently lives in our condo in Washington. I haven't used it much, but making quilt labels was the main reason I bought the stupid thing, so I figured I'd give a try. It turned out okay.
This quilt makes the 7th UFO that I've finished this year.
