Night on the Tiles was inspired by the floor tiling of my favourite pub in Manchester, just down the street from where I took my first lessons in patchwork and quilting. I've been working on it for 3+ years now, in fact, every time I go on my annual quilt retreat, this one comes along. It's not finished but it will be and soon - or so I hope. As you can see, I have gone about it a bit backward by adding the binding before I finished the hand-quilting. But it already looks so much better that I am really motivated to finish this one before the next retreat in September 2012.

What a beautiful quilt. :o)
wow, a quilt reminding you of your favourite pub, that is a funny story to go with a beautiful quilt :-)
I think adding the bindig is okay, at least you can already use it while still quilting.
