I really struggled to photograph this quilt so that the sashing colour showed the right colour. A lot of the photos show it quite orangy, but it is actually pink - this first photo is perhaps one of the closest to the correct colour.

Normally I don't wash quilts before gifting them, but I knew the recipient may struggle to wash this monster herself, so we washed it and it now looks all beautiful and crinkly.
The finished quilt (before washing) is 64"x76" and I bound it with a scrappy binding made with all the left over Jelly Roll strips.
This may be my final link up for the 2012 Finish Along. But there is still some time for a sneaky finish, so you never know!
And Leanne announced yesterday on her blog that she will be the hostess with the mostess for the 2013 Finish Along - I was so thrilled, as this Finish Along has really pushed me to finish some quilts that may have otherwise not been finished. So here's her button too!

What a lovely finish, your quilt is so pretty. And there is that button I made, I am so glad you will be part of the FAL this coming year.
