The end is in sight.....

I have been binding for the last four evenings.  One side a night.


The end is in sight.  This was my last side to do.



Just a few more stitches.



Thank goodness for my handy dandy  needle threader or it would have taken me longer.  So glad I picked up that little wood needle threader rest while I was in Paducah.  It sat so nicely on the arm of my chair.



Done!!!  Every square inch is bound.  Just need to do something for a label.  May even think of washing and drying it to get that great "crinkly" look that I love and my daughter loves. 

You will have to wait until I get a couple big guys to hold this baby up so that I can get a truly great picture of it.  It will be the first time for even "me" to see the quilt as a whole, too.  It's just so big...104" square.

Ah...I can relax a little now.  I won't have to be stitching the binding down at the reception.  LOL

  3. I love it, all that continuous curve through the blocks is my favorite design for this type of pattern. She's going to cherish this forever!
