Here is the finished product! I am rather pleased with it all in all though for some reason the corners of the binding just didn't turn out quite the way I wanted them too.
I have not finished the second one for myself but it shouldn't take too long. I think I will embroider the flowers on mine just for a little difference but we shall see what I think when I get to that point. Though, as I think about it, if I want to embroider them it would be smart to do it before I do the quilting - much easier to hide the knots!
The label ended up being the scraps I had left over from the borders that I used as part of my backing. It works.
Well, for better or worse, this should be in the mail later today. I just hope my swap partner likes it as well as I do!

who ever gets this one will love it, I'm very sure!!
As I said on flickr, it is nice & I still like the button flowers!
I think it is a great quilt. The button flowers really take it over the edge for me.
How did you make the label though?
Congrat on a nice finished quilt. The colours are really automny and the design very original. Take care.
It was pretty plain before I added the flowers.
The label isn't really a label so much as it is part of the back. I just pieced together the leftover border strips and then pieced the back using the brown. Then I wrote on the lighter strips with a pen. Kind of lazy but it works.
It's lovely. Beautiful fabrics , good design and hand quilting - who could ask for more. Some-one will be very lucky !
Charming, I like the decorated triangle idea.
I think it looks great, fabulous feature floral print as well. Thanks for stopping by me, this swap is a great way to find more quilt blogs, Tracey
ps, love the Aunt Jane quote in your sidebar, that's basically the reason I took this quilting up, so I could see something I had achieved out of the day, Tracey
I actually started with the floral and added fabrics from there. I hope to post the second finished one in the next day or so. It is going quite quickly.
Your little quilt is sweet and I'm sure your partner will enjoy it!
ditto to all the comments above, don't mind if I am your swap partner :)
The mini fall quilt is lovely! Congratulations on work very well done, and lucky receiver :o)
