String of Pearls Quilt-a-Long

My String of Pearls quilt...from beginning.....

to middle....

To quilting (and lmost another "Oops" with not enough batting!!)...

 to end!

You notice the black binding.  I was going to do a scrappy binding with all of the "pearl" colors, but hubby saw the quilt asked if it could be his.   I said sure, then he asked what I was binding it with.  He really preferred the black (he's seeing computer screens in this quilt NOT a String of Pearls - LOL!)  

I'll just keep that scrappy binding because I still have quite a stash of Pearl Bracelet fabrics to use it with!

I want to thank Christa from Christa Quilts for hosting this quilt-a-long.  It was a lot of fun and if you want to see some really creative takes on this pattern, go check out the Flickr site.  Very inspiring!!
