The floral print on the back was the first fabric I picked and then I pulled the other fabrics from there. All except for the yellows are a white-on-colour small floral print.<\/p>\n<p>This was my first time doing free motion quilting on anything larger than a fat quarter, it was also my first attempt at machine binding. I used a 2.5&#8243; wide strip for my binding to give myself a little extra to catch on the back. It&#8217;s a good method, I just need a little more practice so I can then reduce the strip width back to my usual 2.25&#8243;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pescapresents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/super-stars-wmqg-charity-quilt-5.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1043]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"single-img\" alt=\"Super Stars - WMQG Charity Quilt - Backing &amp; Binding\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pescapresents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/super-stars-wmqg-charity-quilt-5-600x399.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m linking up this finish with <a href=\"http:\/\/crazymomquilts.blogspot.com.au\/2014\/01\/3-is-magic-number-finished.html\" title=\"Crazy Mom Quilts - Finish It Up Friday\" target=\"_blank\">Crazy Mom Quilts<\/a> for Finish It Up Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Super Stars is my first quilt finish for 2014.
