I started quilting it the middle of September. I have a full sized floor frame that I use (like they use for old time quilting bees except it doesn't hang from the ceiling) so I can pin in the whole backing out flat, layer on the batting and top and quilt with no basting and then roll it in as I quilt. So that saves me a lot of time. The first few weeks it was like an obsession; I couldn't leave it alone. I loved watching it come to life beneath my fingers. Now I need to sew the binding on and hand stitch it. She has it all cut and pressed. So she should have the beauty before Christmas!
