Crossed Canoes Quilted


An unusually cool day  for us here in NC for early September.  Temperatures in the mid 60's when the mid 80's is the norm. A perfect day to quilt.
I went out just before lunch and finished up the machine work on this quilt by late afternoon.


The back is a batik that I've had for sometime.  I rarely use batiks for backings as they are more tightly woven than regular fabrics.  I feel that the machine or maybe the needle has to work harder to piece the fabric plus they are not as soft.   


Now for some trimming and a binding.

I love the borders on this quilt. The blackish outer border just sets off the beautiful colors of the blocks. Love love love.
