Truly Finished, Finally!

I finished this quilt at least a year ago, and maybe two. It's been in daily use ever since, and was starting to look badly in need of a wash.

But -

I'd never finished the binding! It was basted on, but the handstitching was incomplete. Why do I do that?

I got pretty sick a couple weeks ago, and didn't have the energy for anything but sitting around, so I found the black thread and got 'er done. Yippee! And into the wash it went!

I used roses and blues, grouping them into diamonds, but it works a lot better divided by lights and darks, rather than colours. The backing was a Benartex flannel, Cherry Fizz (?), in the Fossil Fern line. It's worn extremely well, and when I need a flannel backing I'll head to the Benartex corner first.
