New Year's Finish

What better way is there to start the new year than finishing off a quilt! Do you remember my husband's black and white "man quilt" that I started almost three years ago? Well, it's finally finished. I decided to quilt it myself, but because of it's size and the fluffy fabric on the back, it was tough. Like I-want-to-just-throw-this-whole-thing-in-the-trash tough. I stuck it out, though, and now I'm so glad to have it draped over my couch.

This is straight binding made with 2 1/4 inch strips. It's machine sewn down, too. I had to salvage my sanity.
