Yippie! Today I finished up the Buckeye Beauty. This quilt should nearly be called a firsts quilt as it is both my first raw edge applique and my first attempts at freemotion quilting. It is quilted 1/4"-1/2" over the entire course of the quilt with the sole exception being the borders, which have tulips quilted on them leaving areas puffy with gaps more like 1"-2.5". It is not an all over pattern as most of my readers already know, and instead it is quilted to show off the pin wheels and appliques. This quilt feels like the quilts my grandmother had at her house that she would always pull out when I visited.
The black fabric I had leftover was more than enough to bind the quilt, and adds just the right touch. I'm so glad I saved it back. So what do you think?

Great job Elizabeth, the quilt looks amazing. I love that it is reversable, the 2 sides are very different and yet they compliment each other and the binding works for both sides. Congratulations!
