Finished binding this plaid quilt from scraps. I like the over/under look to it. I used lots of different dark reds, browns and yellow green. The more I use yellow green, the more I like it! Panto is Flip Flop Feathers and quilted on my APQS Millie. Thank you Quilt Path for making short work of this!
