Here's a first peek at Honu III!He's done, except for the sleeve, which I am going to stitch on tonight.
I finished this one with a facing instead of a binding, which I prefer for this quilt, because it gives it a more "open" look since it's not confined by a traditional binding. You can't see the detail in this shot, but I will take better (and more color-true) photos this weekend with my new photography set up.
Thanks to one of my blogging friends who referred to Kathy Loomis' article in the September 2007 issue of AQS magazine - who was it?? It's Kathy's instructions I followed for the facing - great job!

This is stunning. Facing instead of binding is the way to go on this one I think. Great choice. Love your asymmetrical border.
This is as WOW! as the first two.
What a surprise to see all the eye candy. Honu #3 is just a beautiful as his other siblings. Keep up the wonderful work, can't wait to see what you do in Tahoe.
love you, joan
PS....love that sassy new hair dooo!
This looks great - like a closeup look. Your weaving project looks intriguing as well.
This is fabulous, great job, love the colors.... Well worth the wait for all....
Love your new haircut very, very cute.....
Would love to see your facing binding technique....

This is inspiring! I am looking to purchase a new machine...what machine does this kind of beautiful embroidery?
My eyes are having a ball looking at this gorgeous quilt! What a peice of art!

I loved it the minute I saw it a year ago.
You are so talented, Dianna.
