And…one…more
It’s basketball season…March madness. The TV in my house is spouting the sound of fans cheering, sneakers squeaking, and announcers talking, talking, talking. My hubby likes tournament season but it drives me a bit mad. Still, some of it seeps into my head which is why I could not stop thinking, “and…one,” after I finished binding one more small quilt as my alma mater lost its NCAA tournament game. I almost dunked my quilt when celebrating the turning off of the TV. At least for a few days.
This is a reproduction of a courthouse steps doll quilt I saw on Pinterest. It was a snap to put together and has been waiting for its binding for about 18 months. When I started looking for the “right brown” to bind it with, I was reminded that red goes with everything. And so it does. It is also a very cheery color to stitch and I think I set a record getting this one sewn down.
Really love that little quilt! And the red binding is perfect, as is your hand quilting! Great job!
Love it, very sweet.
Red was definitely a great choice for binding on this sweet quilt. It looks very vintage.
I'd love to make a large version of your cute quilt!
Crazy March madness!!
Your Courthouse Steps quilt definitely has an old look. I like it very much as I like log cabin style quilts, like browns, and I like the "old" look.
It's March Madness at my house too, but I enjoy it as much as Randy. GO DUKE! I also quilt or sew during the games. Love your doll quilt! The red binding sets it off perfectly.
No idea what your on about with your basketball as its not a sport we get on this side of the pond.
Your quilt is a whole different ball game it's a sweet quilt and red is good.
Taryn, love your little repro. The quilting is lovely and the fabrics too!

Red and brown–a favorite color combo! Great little quilt.
Basketball fans here. But we don't get all of the channels the games are on, so we enjoy what we can get and I stitch as I mostly just listen. If it is a really amazing play I watch the replay. : )
Great finish. We are a rugby mad country here in New Zealand!
sorry about your team – the red binding looks really great. wonderful little quilt
That is a wonderful quilt! I love your fabric choices and Couthouse setting! No basketball fans at my house so it has been quiet here.
I love your little quilt. And yes…red does go with everything. Hugs
I think the red is just perfect for this quilt. Great quilt.
this turned out beautifully! i love those colors…hugs, Julierose
We are basketball fans here…good news is I get a lot of handquilting done in March each year!
