Thanks everybody - the top is finally put together and the flannel backing washed and pressed and ready to become the back, I wish this had been as much fun as it looks, this athletic fabric is rather slinky to work with, even with a stabilizer on it. The narrow side border has a slight bit of a wave to it, not sure if I'll remove them and try again or see if the binding with straighten them out, it's not bad but once I quilt it to the back it might make things hairy. I don't know, debating, just glad it's all one piece now.
Juliea - that top is so pretty!
Kristi, can't wait to see the progress of your two, love the fabrics!
Sync - I hope you were able to work the bobbin winder problems out so you and Fanny can get back in business.
SoozieQ, I've always wanted to tell you I love your avatar picture!
Kwiltr, I'm not sure if she ran over there or not, she did go to Europe about a year and a half ago but I don't recall if she did any races (she is Irish-blooded though lol).
