The wedding quilt "top" is DONE!!!
I said I wouldn't post anymore pictures of it until it was done and my goal was to have it done by the end of March, so I am thinking April 1st isn't too bad.
Anyways, yesterday there was a pile of blocks.
Doesn't look like much, does it? There are 25 blocks but each of them will finish out at 20".
Then I sewed the rows and got them all pressed.
With no one here to hold it up for me, this is the best that I can do to show you the quilt. It measures 100" square.
Now I am off to look for a backing.
If I can get this quilted and back sometime in May, I should be able to get the binding on (which is made) and have it stitched down BEFORE the reception, not AT it.
I will post pictures of the totally completed quilt hopefully before June.
Yeah....I can finally start something new.
Congratulations. It is so lovely...and huge. What a wonderful gift to the young couple.
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous is that! What a lucky couple!
ReplyDeleteCan't help a little snigger at the picture of you stitching the binding on at the reception - sorry, I realise that would be stressful and my sniggering is completely unacceptable (tee hee)!
