Picking Petals

Another wall hanging for my mom! She wanted something to hang over their tv. Pattern is Picking Petals by Carried Away Quilting. This one also didn’t get finished on time, because I suck. Seriously, I don’t even know what my problem is. Sigh.

So the charm pack I used is Mama’s Cottage by April Rosenthal for Moda. I love this line, it’s so colorful and cheery. The backing is more of the green stem fabric. I had a cute light blue-ish polka dot I was going to use, but I decided I’d rather save the dot for somewhere it’ll actually be seen.

Binding is machine stitched on the front and hand finished on the back, for maximum pretty. I somehow managed to completely miscalculate and make about twice as much binding as I actually needed, whoops!

And I actually branched out from stitching in the ditch! A little bit anyway. Baby steps.

My mother did indeed hang it over their tv.
