I finished the binding on this quilt on Sunday, and I got the label attached yesterday. I named it Watermelon Tourmaline, because it was designed to look somewhat like the gemstone by the same name. I started this quilt back in 2016, but never got around to quilting it or having it quilted. I couldn't decide how I wanted it quilted. I still struggled with the "right" design and thread color up until the point when I put it into the frame. I'm not sure what I was so worried about, really. Perfectionism was just getting the best of me.
I quilted it with my long-arm quilter in an all-over meander pattern. I used Quilter's Dream Select cotton batting, and the thread is Isacord Rose (#2530). The binding is attached to the front by machine and turned to the back by hand. The quilt finished at approximately 42 inches by 52 inches. This is my third finished UFO for this year.
