Quilting and Binding the Berenstain Bears Quilt!

Two tries, and I finally got a binding fabric that ties the Berenstain Bears quilt together!  I love it!  I realized I hadn't posted photos of the quilting I had done on this quilt, so here's a photo-heavy look at the quilt with the binding attached (but not completely stitched yet).  This was my first attempt at more modern quilting, breaking out of loops and stars and flowers.

I love the binding!

Textures!

Quilting those diamonds is a lot tougher than it may look.

A better view of the loops in each patterned square.

On the ironing board.  I love the texture this shows!

Another view of the binding and quilting from the front.  And some random hangers.

Closer look at the wavy pattern on the border and the binding.

I tried to frame each center block a bit with the quilting.

And here's a look at the back!

I really love the little frames all over the back of the quilt!

You can see each "frame" from the back and the squiggles between each frame.

I find quilt backs like this just as fascinating as the quilt fronts.

The binding is attached on the front, and will be hand-stitched on the back.
