I love to sew the binding. But I will probably not do another one in satin. It is so difficult, I can see the limits of my skills.I find it pleasant to do these small stitches. It is the same technique I use for the whole korak sewing.
I'm still thinking about a backing fabric. And I know I'll have to quilt or tie it from the reverse. Last time I did that it was on the Bauhaus quilt, and doing the backing quilting was a proof of my patience, indeed. But it has to be done!

Have a nice weekend!
The colors and stitching are so beautiful! Another masterpiece!
Oh Eva....that is such a gorgeous piece! I was blown away when I enlarged your photos!!! Magnificent!

Yes! this is really lovely - you seem to have knack of balancing colour and texture without over-doing it. I am going to google 'korak' stitching as I do not know what it is. Gilly
Another beauty Eva!...
...and I looked at the close-up too :-)
What's next on the list then?
A work of art.
What a wonderful work! Although it must have been very difficult sewing (the satin) it was worth all the hard labour: looks really gorgeous!!!!
(Your blog didn't open easily for some time ... don't know why ..)
What a beautiful piece! Your fabrics are gorgeous!
Love the colors and texture and beautiful hand quilting.
Thank you for the comment on the Central Asian wall piece. I was not aware of the techniques used until I read this and saw your quilt, one I recall very well during that time. This quilt is similar too, as the one shown in that exhibit. Beautiful colors you chose.
