Fairytale Quilt

This makes me so excited! I finished my second quilt ever. And this attempt was so much better than the first. The front has 4 inch squares running diagonally and has a border of green triangles. The back is made of 9.5 inch squares that show off the fabric pattern beautifully. The quilt is measures 43 inches x 49 inches and is fully reversible. I tried my hand at some straight line quilting since my sewing machine is VERY basic. I don't even think I have a quilting foot (pretty sure that's not even what it's called. Haha!) I basically sewed straight lines .25 inch from each front seam. It gives the quilt a very finished and professional look. My favorite part of the quilt: the binding. With my first quilt, I chose to hand sew the binding and I knew that was not the direction I wanted to go. That took forever and I'm still not finished! 2 months later. So I decided to machine sew this binding after looking at a ton of different tutorials. It took a lot of courage and pep talking but... I've listed my quilt on myEtsy shop.
