When going through my blog posts I found out that the Horizon quilt sat more than a year on the shelve. On Friday I made the last stitches to attach the binding. And here is the Horizon quilt:
Quilted with the walking foot in straight lines following the block pattern in vertical, horizontal and diagonal directions. Once more I have used machine quilting thread from Mettler no. 40 in color natural 04. I have pieced the back with two different fabrics : a green-blue plain and a colorful pattern fabric Cocoon in Sapphire by Valori Wells for Free Spirit. For the backing I have used 2 yards from each fabric.
The binding is a plain fabric in light lavender and stitched to the Horizon quilt entirely with the sewing machine.
Details piecing and quilting.

The colors in your quilt make me want to go swimming in a warm, turquoise lagoon. Oh well, I can dream. Thanks for the free fantasy.

Looks good. The binding color is perfect. I am always amazed at how far back I have to go to catch the beginnings of a quilt I have set aside. Never seems that long ago.

Well, this year is year of finishes. I have another 2 tops waiting for quilting and I have to check my stash before I order new fabric.

Congratulations on such a beautiful finish! Those fabrics are gorgeous. And I love how the quilting turned out. Looks like an Ohio Star pattern from the back. Lovely, lovely work!
