I have another finished quilt.  The quilting is done and the binding is on.  The gals at The Quilt Bugs did the quilting for me by using a stipple stitch.  I love the way it seems very fitting with these fabrics.
I attached the binding by machine again and have found that the more I do this the more I like it.  

I wanted to get a nicer picture of the whole quilt but it's been rainy and wet outside so I'll just show you this old pic from when I finished the top.  

Glad to get ALL of the homespun off the shelves.  I love the way homespun looks but I will never work with it again.  O. M. G. the raveling it did!! 
 Thanks for stopping by....Linda

Homespun top ....

I finally finished sewing the rows together the other day and I've also added the borders.
I used every bit of homespun I have except one piece (about 1.5 yard).
But that will just have to go back on my shelf because it's a bright red, white and blue and I just couldn't bring myself to add it to this quilt.
In fact I was short about 6" on the last border. So I grabbed a small piece of the last of the grey and used it to finish the corner. I think you can barely see in the bottom right corner.
Just makes it unique.
All in all...I'm really pleased with the way this turned out. It's about 80"x90".
But oh my goodness the loose strings just about drove me to drink.
I'll probably fold it up for now and wait until I get the next two family quilts finished before I put it on the frame to quilt.

A couple of days ago I took my camera out and got pics of my roses. They were just beautiful. Before the heat cooks them or the wind shreds them.
So I thought I'd share.
Enjoy

Is this a GREAT DAY or what?
