finish it up Friday - family tree

The family tree is finally quilted, bound and is hanging.  This was a really fun project to make with my daughter-in-law.  She embroidered all the names, and I quilted it for her.



I had some potential problems with wavy borders since the middle was so tightly quilted, but a bias binding really helped balance that out.  You can read more about the process of this project here and here.  









I was thinking of leaving the middle part unquilted (above), but I'm so glad I didn't! (below)
