Week 13: The top is finished! I went with a nice white background and will use the backing fabric to make the binding. Since all the other squares were made from fabric in my stash I didn't have enough of any one color to do a binding. I also don't think that a mixed-pattern binding would look very good on this quilt - given all the colors and patterns in the blocks. For this one, simple is better I think. Next week: the final construction. I am coming close to the end of my tutorial...it has been a wonderful journey.

Well done! It's a good feeling when it's all pieced together, isn't it? I made this earlier this year for my son and I learned so much while I was doing it. You've done a magnificent job.
It looks so fantastic! Congratulations, you really brought so many different colors together.
