I found it and it's called "Gazing Into Clear Water" if you want to try to find it online.

Awesome, thanks. I found a similar free one online.

Yes, Becky, there is a pattern for this.  If I remember correctly (it's been a while...), this was one of those free patterns that came in a mailer for a quilt magazine.  I'll see if I can find it in my pattern binder.

Is there a pattern for this?

I have been machine binding my quilts. You stitch the binding on the back then fold to the front, using the seam line as a guide where to stitch. I have a left seam foot for my Viking machine that really helps line it up. It does take pratice and I find that if I use the blanket stitch the mistakes don't show up as bad.

You did a great job! Love the bright colors and the back detail is fun.

Love it - and the multicolor accent on the back is really neat! I've been taught a machine stitched binding but I've not had a lot of luck with it. You sew the folded binding on the back rather than the front (mitering the corners like usual; fold to the front and press and then stitch in the ditch from the front using a small buttonhole stitch which catches the binding on the front. I'm sure there are other ways but this is the one I've been shown. My problem is apparently I dont have the binding edges exactly in the same position front and back and when I stitch I end up "out of the ditch" on the back and it looks MESSY. So I ripped it out and did it the old way. I hope someone posts a better method as I'd like to learn too! Anyway your quilt is beautiful -- worth the sore fingers!
