I would love it if you want to join me in this next month in getting all those half-finished projects done!
First up, is this quilt top:

I headed off to the much less trendy Hancock Fabrics and settled on these. The blue is the binding, the white a border, the green a wide border and the stars the backing.

I was about a yard short in the backing fabric. That's what happens when you try to guess yardage for a backing. I should have sat down and figured exact measurements, but yeah, didn't take the time. I made it work (Project Runway starts soon!!) and pieced the back together. It ended up looking quite neat.
Then I enlisted my mom to make the quilt sandwich. I started quilting, but the machine started protesting and getting a cough. I stopped and conceded it needed the doctor's. My mom dropped it off and we should have it back on tomorrow. I'm disappointed because I got it about half way quilting and I really wanted to finish it for today. Hopefully next week.
I should probably join you! I've got a quilt to finish up and I've been wanting to make pillows out of leftovers from Hy and Maddy's quilts and I've got dresses/skirts to make for Maddy and, and, and... YES! I need to do this LOL!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a beautiful quilt!
