And Now It's Done

When I got the quilt top done, I sent if off to a "long-arm" quilter. Rhonda put the quilt, batting, and backing on her quilting machine and then quilted it. I love the pattern she picked out. It curves around all the small squares and fills in the large white shape beautifully. I had cut and sewn together 2 1/2 inch strips, folded them in half lengthwise, and machine sewed then through all the layers of the quilt. Then I wrapped that binding around the raw edges - over 700 inches around the quilt! The quilt is now done and will soon be on our bed.

Back At It

It's taken me a while, but I finally had some time to get back to the quilt. I'm adding 6-inch borders to make the quilt big enough for our bed. Alan helped me make exact measurements for the final borders. This will help to make the quilt square. As soon as I sew the final two seams, I can take it to the quilt shop in South Lyon to be quilted.
