Guilt free TV time

I finished the quilting on this one a few days ago and now I am busy hand sewing the binding which to me makes for truly guilt free TV watching. I love the mindless sewing that goes with binding and I can usually finish up a twin size quilt in about one afternoon and evening of sewing. Just a couple of movies and I am done. I tried a new free form pattern for the quilting on this one but I am not sure how much you can see it. I saw the design on a tutorial by Green Fairy quilts and I think it was called feathered swirls. It was great practice for making the teardrop shapes that are in feathers and I will definitely be using this design again, hopefully on something that will show up more! Time to turn on the TV and get stitching.
