The Bargello workshop was held in November (2011) while the Guild was still at the Soccer Center. I only managed to get half of it done on the day of the workshop, and I didn’t finish piecing it until January (2012). I thought the straight line stitching worked well on the piece. It’s a good thing it seemed fitting because by the time I started quilting it I had pretty much given up on free-motion!

I needed extra fabric for the binding and I was lucky that Lainey still had what I wanted in stock. Once I put my mind to it, I was able to get the binding attached and stitched down within a couple of days.
