While some of my friends are getting cabin fever, I am happy to get all this bonus studio time. Yesterday I finished the quilting on my Ginkgo quilt. I was so pleased to see that there was no distortion, in spite of the intense quilting and it only shrank about a half inch on the width and length.
I quilted the background in a variegated blue thread. I frequently use variegated thread and this was Sulky rayon.
I am so glad that I took the extra time to piece the back. I love the way it looks.
Today I will bind it in a medium blue and then I will have hand work to do during the Olympics. I actually have a place for this in my house when the exhibit is over. It should look great in my upstairs hallway.

I'm linking up with Off the Wall Fridays. Go see what everyone is up to.

Another beautiful ginkgo piece! You did a great job keeping it flat with the intense quilting. I love the way you put light on dark and dark on light.
