I have to say that the binding looks a lot better than if I machine stitched it in place. This little quilted topper makes me really happy. It ticks all the boxes.

Here is the finished piece, although it has not been in the wash yet. That is my final step before I consider it "really finished."
In the borders, I used two different styles of triangular design. Both were inspired by the quilting I saw in a photo from the Liberated Quiltmaking II book by Gwen Marston. Here are some closeups.
In the skinny insertions in the borders, I did pebbles. In the one wider blue insertion, I quilted swirls. All of that shows up well in the above three photos.
My next project????? I haven't decided. I suppose I should spend more time learning my lines for the play I will be in in September - unless we have another quarantine lockdown.
I am linking up with the July 2021 Table Scraps Runner Topper Challenge.
Until Next Time,
Stay Creative

LOVE it! I like the random piecing and the random quilting designs - AND it ticks off all of the boxes - ;))
I love it too, Gene. Very pretty. I especially like that last box, lol!
I turned out beautiful, Gene. Thanks for sharing.
Great quilting on the borders. Enjoy your new table topper (and learn those lines)!
Congrats on finishing off your July 2021 TABLE SCRAPS Challenge entry, Gene! It looks like it was a fun piece to put together. Great choice on the binding, too! No matter how good we are at machine binding, hand sewn on the back generally looks best.
Gene, that border just draws the eye...love it. You mean to tell me you do not have any UFO's, if not, I am impressed.
