Ah, BlueBell, you are soooo close to the finish BUT! Please let us know when you've got that binding on and we'll call it done then. Good luck! Please post a pic of your quilt when you are able so we can all enjoy your finish!
I've finally put the first stitches in the binding on my scrappy quilt and I can assure everyone, mine won't be done as quickly as BlueBell's probably will be. I changed binding plans and am already sorry I did. I planned a scrappy one but switched to using the same fabric as the backing and am finding the weave to be a bit too loose. I'll have to watch out for that in future backings. I didn't realize it at the time I took it to the LA as I was just too thrilled to get it out of the house and quilted after 12 years. Must be more careful!

I wish I could send a picture but if you are familiar with the book, you have a good idea of what my quilt looks like. So even though I need to sew the binding, the quilt will be done before the end of the month. So can I call it a finish?
I enjoy looking at everyone's finishes. All beautiful and great inspiration.
