Binding Day

Image may contain: stripes

The baby quilt is quilted and bound! I can't believe how quickly I finished this one. I finished the quilt top on Sunday. I loaded and quilted it yesterday. The binding went on today! The shower is coming up so I had to finish it as soon as I could.

Look what else I finished! I decided to get the binding finished on this as well. The machine was all set up with a walking foot so I thought I would just get it done. It's so hot today that I decided to just stay in on my day off. This quilt took quite a bit longer to bind than the baby quilt. The curves and the squared off areas made the whole process rather slow but I just kept going. I had a good amount of iced coffee to get me through!

I don't think you can see the fabric I used for the binding. It's not quite as dark as this picture. I had a hard time picking a fabric that would match the many fabrics used in this vintage quilt. I happened to run into Debby Brown who is a HandiQuilter educator. She helped me pick this out. It was perfect!!

Quilting and Freezing

 Although we haven't had anymore snow, the weather has not been good. The temperatures are low and the wind chill just makes them lower....
