Far Far Away II Quilt...done!

I've been working on this quilt for a long while now and am so glad to have it finished. This is for Emmie and Kai will get his after the baby comes. I love love love this quilt and I love love love this fabric. It is so beautiful and surprisingly soft, for being linen.

I tried my hand at freehand quilting and really enjoyed it once I got the hang of it. It definitely takes some practice,  but it was really relaxing and I love the way it turns out. For the sashing I used a wonderfully soft cotton/linen blend found on Sew Mama Sew.

For the binding I used a vintage sheet that matched just about perfectly. I was unsure of what color to go with when a friend said "I was thinking yellow!". Done. (Thanks Kristen!)
