The quilt top was finished this morning and basted this afternoon. Quilting will start tomorrow, also made a start on the binding.
Stay stitched around the center, before adding the two borders.
After sewing strips together and ironing said strips, they got rolled up onto cardboard rolls. Keeping them neat and easy to place next to the sewing machine, before sewing the borders on to the center of the quilt top. The snow started and continued to come down by the time we went to bed. It will require shovelling of the snow in the morning, we were expecting rain. The temperatures dipped and the cold winds started blowing and it changed quickly from rain to snow.
have fun stitching while watching the snow fall from inside.

ReplyDeleteYour quilt is gorgeous! I smiles at your cardboard rolls for binding! A girl after my own recycling heart! :) Great idea!
ReplyDeleteThey work well for the binding and one can turn those cardboard rolls into seed planters in the spring. Thanks for stopping by, Maggie

ReplyDeleteSpectacular quilt top, Maggie, and happy quilting!!
ReplyDeleteI love the print in the last border. In the quilt, that print makes interesting little white dots like snowflakes. Your choice of fabrics is perfect. Awesome quilt. Enjoy! ;^)
