A {secret} Finish

So I finished my For the Love of Solids2 large project this weekend. This involved finishing the quilting,
my first try at corner hangers,
inaugurating my new quilt labels(!),
and quite a few hours spent on pieced binding - time-consuming, but I thought it was worth it with this mini's design.
The final reveal  remains pending . . .

Linking up with {sew} Modern Monday, Fabric Tuesday, and Finish It Up Friday.

    It's looking lovely, I love the colours.
    I have used corner hangings they work really well on smaller quilts, I put them on a large quilt but still had to put a sleeve in the middle due to it sagging.

    Oh, my! Not randomly pieced binding, but perfectly matched! Can't wait to see the whole quilt.

    Looks gorgeous, Deb! Another finish, oh my, I'm impressed, (still haven't had one). The label is beautiful, where did it come from?

    That is looking beautiful! And a binding pieced to match the front is wonderful! I too want to know about the labels, they are lovely.

    uhh, where did you get the labels made? I need labels like that for little craft items i make, I usually embroider a label for quilts, but need something small for my owls/ portfolios etc
