I'm calling this quilt "Leafpeeping". Here's how it looks from the back:
Yesterday I had taken it to the slow stitching phase, and this morning I sat and stitched the whole binding all 222 inches of it. This quilt measures 88-1/2 x 22-1/5 inches.
Now it is fulfilling its destiny as a runner for my table.
This is my "Let's Book It" project for the month.
It's the "Leaves" project from this book by Kim Schaefer:
This book was purchased on our trip this past month while I was visiting a quilt shop in Wisconsin, so it didn't sit on the shelf too long before I actually made a project from it.
For today, I'm linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching.

That's a very striking runner. Beautiful colours and shapes. It must have been relaxing doing all that hand quilting.
Very, very nice and it is great that it will work for the entire fall season.
Smashing fabric on the back too : )
