Shoo Fly Shoo finally gets her binding on

 On a sleepless night, what better thing to do than some hand sewing?  Instead of tossing and turning in bed I got up and finished the binding on this cute little quilt.  Relaxing, nearly mindless, and just the right recipe to calm my busy mind.  A bright and sunny morning was just right for her glamour shot!

It is just a week short of a year since "Moda LOVE" quilt top was completed.

This weekend the binding went on and it's DONE!  The hardest part was deciding how to quilt the last border.  I mulled that over for a couple weeks, marked and re-marked.  Finally my sister helped me get it all worked out, pinning and drawing lines to get things to line up correctly.  

The maple leaves in the red border give it an autumn look, but the free motion flowers in the floral border don't show up at all.  Well, at least no mistakes will be visible there!
