I AM FINISHED!!!
You cannot believe how excited I was last night just 5 minutes before my husband walked into the door from work, I knotted off the last thread for this project! Oh my this project was a lesson at every corner. After sewing together all the charm Squares for the last project involving the 'Lil Twister Tool [see POST], I wanted to make a smaller projects without going with a smaller tool. I started this project about 2 years ago. I never imagined this is how it would turn out, but I am so grateful to Leah Day's Tutorials and videos! I used her method of joining the four separate mini-quilts into one 40"X 40" Project. This marks my first finish for the 2013 Finish Along hosted by Leanne @She Can Quilt.

I actually bought binding a couple of years ago from an Etsy Shop which is no longer in Business. I hadn't actually planned out the quilt when I bought it however or I might have gone with something different, something Orange maybe. All I knew at the time was that I had 4 packs of City Weekend Charm Squares by Moda and this binding should match. There was a little less than a yard left of the binding. I have decided to call it "Four Squared Weekend" and little corner bits were added to house a rod for hanging rather than the traditional sleeve.
I think I just might keep this one...
