WIP Wednesday

This week I've been busy binding that pile of quilts I got basted a few weeks ago. And I wanted to ask - do you buy your backing and binding when you purchase the rest of your fabric? Or do you buy things you think will make a good binding/backing for something, someday and just choose from your stash when you need something? Sometimes I purchase backing when I plan a quilt, but I often forget about binding, and I don't have a very large stash, so inevitably, I am going back to the store for either or both when I'm ready to baste/bind.

I've also been working on my Swoon blocks and I really like the way they are coming out. 

And in spare moments I've been working again on my Dancing Triangles quilt - almost have all the pink, green, orange and purple piecing done - then on to red, blue and yellow!

Granny Square Quilt Take 2

Last Christmas I knew I wanted to make a quilt for my mother in law, and I had enjoyed making my first Granny square quilt so much, I decided to make it again. I used all DS prints from JoAnn's, and kept the center square red in each block. I added white sashing and grey cornerstones. I really love this quilt, and she did too!

The white is Kona White, the cornerstones and binding is Kona Ash. I didn't get a picture of the backing and I can't remember what I used! I was glad to finally get a picture of this one, since I didn't get one before it was gifted.
