All I had to do was back it and bind it but I had it hanging on a piece of book board and covered up so that it wouldn't get dirty.
I was going to put a border on it as well as the binding but the border did nothing for the finished product so I took it off.
I wanted to do something to keep the backing and the front together and I finally came up with the idea of using buttons.
I have some tiny little pink heart shaped buttons--very, very small buttons in fact and I used them on the front and then added another one on the back in the same spot.
See if you can spot them on the quilt-there are six alltogether.
Hopefully the picture will enlarge when you click on it--sometimes they do and sometimes they don't and I don't know why that happens.
I am really pleased with how it has all worked out---it will be entered in the Guild exhibition and then Susan can have it for her birthday.

Susan will be thrilled with it Doreen - it's beautiful. I love all the little areas of detail and different textures.
Well done Doreen, it's lovely. It will be a star exhibit I'm sure.
It's beautiful Doreen!! I'm sure it will get lots of admiring comments at the show. Now, do you want to come on over here and put mine together too?
So much work on this piece.. lovely!
Worth waiting for. Just beautiful and yes, I do see the tiny buttons....
It's gorgeous, Doreen. Susan is a lucky lady.
This is just beautiful - a treasure. The class with Karen must have been great.
Absoutely beautiful, a future heiroom.
oh its beautiful doreen, your friend will be so pleased....i love how white can just pop with texture :)
I love it Doreen. I love how you did the colors. I find that very hard, to stick to so little color, but the result is fantastic. Now you made me want to do something similar.
That is really lovely Doreen, so pretty. Well done.
Gorgeous. I really hope I get to see it in reality - we have a bit of a hiccup with Bill and a very painful back at present - praying for it to get better so we can go away. Cheers
It is gorgeous! Makes much more sense to me in its finished state than it did while you were working on pieces of it. The pink buttons are a perfect finishing touch. Bet you will get lots of comments at the Guild!

The picture enlarged and I was able to see how beautiful this is. So much work must have gone into it. The little bits of pale pink are just perfect.
Beautiful work, Doreen. Love the tiny hint of colour, even better when enlarged.
Beautiful... I could only look and look and look some more to see all the elements... I love the little trail of hexies...
doreen this is just so beautiful, I love everything about it.
Your fabric Art Quilt will be the star of the exhibition - everyone always loves whitework.
A real achievement Doreen.
