I finally got to the binding on my Civil War quilt I started last September. I usually start and finish a quilt before I start something else. But lately I have been prevaricating. That quilt has been a pain in the backside. I used a D9P and messed up the rows. Then I undid that, rearranged and did it again. I messed up putting the backing and batting on and used SID. The rows wound up crooked. I ripped the whole thing out, realigned everything and this time spray basted with 505. I quilted it this week and was ready for the binding today. I bought, lost, and found the fabric for the binding, and today my machine wiped out. I spent all day taking my machine apart and putting it back together again. I tried sewing, it worked, but I decided to leave it alone until I am in a better mood to cope with whatever it does to me. This quilt isn't supposed to get done, but golly, I am in charge and will finish it this week.

Meanwhile I started three other quilts while I was messing around with this CW quilt, finished the tops and they are sitting there. I bought batting for one, but don't have the backing yet.

My husband calls me a quilt addict. Well, if that is what I am, so be it, even as frustrated I get, I am having fun.
