8 of Cups – finished
After the quilting was finished, I marked out the finished size: 24″ x 60″, sewed a tight straight stitch just inside the marked line, then trimmed it to size.
To finish the edge, I chose 3 different cords that picked up the colors in the quilt and used them to make a couched twisted cord binding.

Very nice. There is so much to look at and discover. I love using cords and yarn and other fibers to finish a small quilt.
Beautiful. Love the colors and the layers.
I really love the look of this piece and the stitching you used to enhance it.

I love it. I saw that someone else posted that it would be fabulous if someone could make actual cups for purchase from your design. Wouldn’t that be great? And there could be saucers, plates, etc. Beautiful piece!
Absolutely beautiful.
Gorgeous! This has so much detail and interesting spots to rest the eyes upon. I could gaze at it forever. Have a beautiful week.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing the process. Will you be hanging this or using as a runner? Great stuff!
Thanks everyone!
Long View, this quilt is for an entry into an exhibit called Rituals.
Gorgeous! I recognize the size!
The use of tiny colored cords is intriguing for me. What type of batting did you use in this machine quilted piece? I have forgotten if you have already told us. This is a ritual piece. Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
