Benson's memorial quilt is finished!

Benson's memorial quilt is now finished and hanging on our living room wall. When the sun decides to come out I will take some better pictures of it. I really enjoyed making this wall hanging; it has helped me get through the grieving process. Rest in peace, faithful friend.

Benson's Quilt - Third Border

Wow, the freezer paper method rocks!  It is much easier than curved flip and sew and the pieces lay so flat.  I am backing some of the nappy fancy fabrics with knit fusible, but not all.  Silk does not not need it.  

I may reprint the photo, to try to get it more vibrant, and I would like to enlarge the center square, to avoid trimming so much from these fun borders.  

I will assemble it before starting the embellishments, as Allie suggests.
