Soooooooooo Cherry!

A couple Fridays ago when my friend and I  were on our little quest to visit all the Fabric Stores in Northern Utah we saw the cutest quilt in a store in Logan called Bernina's.  We both fell in love with it and decided our next get together we would be making our own version of Bernina's quilt.

 I just finished up mine today.  My friend is having a baby girl and I found out the other day that she loves cherries so of course this fabric So Cherry came to my mind.

I decided to use the green on the back and pink for the binding.  I think I now have another favorite color combo, green and pink.  

I thought about using a "raw edge" for the binding, but decided just to do a normal binding since my favorite part of quilting is binding the back by hand. 

Oh and guess what.................for Valentines day I bought myself a walking foot (I told my husband it was from him).  I couldn't  pay the hundred something dollars for the Bernina brand walking foot, but I found one on e-bay for half the price that claimed to work for Bernina's and be just as good.  So far so good, it made this quilt so much easier than if I had used my normal foot. 

I hope my friend will like it.  I might not be able to wait until she has her baby!
