Cinnamon Latte -- Finished!

Here's Bo again, a couple of weeks after he went AWOL.

He's never told us where he was for those five days and nights, but he's come home a happier cat than he used to be, much more affectionate and engaging.

This afternoon he was perched on my chair under the dracena and I thought he looked kind of cute there, so I took his picture.

 I'd picked up Cinnamon Latte from the machine quilter early last week and immediately machined the binding on.  It was a busy kind of a week, so I just got the handwork part of the binding begun and then it was time to go away.

I took the project along with me to Alexandria and hand-stitched that binding down as we visited.  We were having such a good time that the binding was done almost before I knew it.
This photo of the back of the quilt shows the design we chose for the quilting.  I like it a lot and think it is splendidly compatible with the fabrics in the quilt.  I like the brown thread, too.

I'd bought all of these fabrics except the setting triangles from Wanda a couple of years ago when she was on a major cutting spree and had some extra strips.

This is a close-up of the quilting on the front.
