Selvedge Windmill- October 2011

Here we are nearing the end of my second assigned month in 12squared...what better time to finish up my first 12squared quilt top??!!

I LOVE it. 

I spent about 10 minutes just staring at once it was completed. There isn't a single thing I would've done different. 
I contemplated the border for a few days. I considered using just a single print, or maybe even just Kona White, but that would've been a mistake. The selvedge border really makes it, and I'm glad I took the extra time to do it. (chain stitching was a life saver here)

I already have the backing picked out, and I plan to add one more strip of selvedges to it.
Here are a few shots of my quilt wall- I bought full size batting and staple gunned it to the wall.

Simple, and works like a felt board! 

And, here is a shot of my nerd-iness shining through...I did the pinterest thing. I bought comic book boards and organized my fabric....yes, I did.
My sewing room is coming together nicely, now if I could just get a few more hours in the day....
