I spent a little time hand sewing the binding on my SQT challenge quilt today.

I used a single fold binding this time. I found a bit of old feedback to use for the back.

It finished up at a tad over 12 inches square.

You can see that some of my HSTs were a bit off. They were already sewn and I used my die cutter to trim them to size. Clearly I didn’t have them on the die just right. I’m okay with that. It is a humble little quilt and that kind of stuff just adds character.
These blocks from a SQT swap last fall are next on my to do list. One person was unable to finish her blocks due to health issues. We all made a block for her anyway and she sent signature squares. I hope to get this block made today and then I will start laying out the quilt.

I am linking up with Kathy for Slow Stitching Sunday.


It’s adorable! Great finish!
Love your bears paw. The reds are wonderful.
Can’t wait to see what you do with the signature squares.
What a cute little quilt. Your swap blocks are wonderful. Love the pattern and colors. Happy stitching.
I love your bear paw quilt – it looks great, has great character. Your machine quilting is spot on!!!! Great job!
