Finished the binding on this quilted table runner/wall hanging:

I used Accuquilt GO! Die #55027 (Triangles in Square - 3" Finished), to make the Star Blocks, and reversed the colorway to make the modified flying geese border, finished quilt dimensions are 20" x 37". Quilting thread used in this piece is YLI 100% Cotton "Pyramid of Giza", and Sulky Invisible thread "Smoky" for the ditch quilting. Every ditch in this quilt has been quilted with this invisible thread; accent quilting was finished with "handlook quilt stitch using invisible thread". The batting is Hobbs Heirloom 80/20, and the backing is unbleached muslin.
