Trimmed off the excess backing and batting. Then made and attached the binding.
For binding, I follow Dara's method from Sew Snuggly quilts.
Of course, I've made a few changes to her tutorial. I sew the binding on the backside first.
Rather than hand sewing the binding in place, I machine sew a three stitch zig-zag on the front side.
Next baby's name was embroidered on.
My initials and the year.
Outside for a photo shoot. It was very sunny, I did not use the cir-polarizing filter, so the colours of the quilt are wee bit overexposed.
Ooops, the green ceramic pencil markings still need to be removed.
It's beautiful!! My kiddos are lucky to have such a talented & thoughtful great auntie! (I assume this is for my baby, not another baby Errol in Toronto... :)
