4. Quilt. I chose to stipple-meander my quilt. I "might" be addicted to stippling....I just can't stop! :)

5.  Bind. I just love a scrappy binding! Plus the backing matches perfectly!!!

A bit more about the backing fabric: Flutter & Float Flower Crown Blue by Blend Fabrics

This fabric is a perfect match for your quilt. This fabric is perfect for seam matching as the pattern repeat is small so minimal fabric waste!!! I will definitely do this again!
