Oh honey, I feel your pain. I have been on a mission to finish quilting my DGD's quilt for her new bed. I had finished the top, with both pieced and appliqued blocks, prior to having surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder, of course. I'm doing better, although not as quickly as I would have liked. Now it's Christmas Eve, I just finished trimming the quilt to put the binding on and have see far too many "flaws" (I think it's a nice word for mistakes), however she is just 3 1/2 and I'm hoping that she will love this quilt as much as the very first one I made when she was born. My DIL says that she uses that quilt because "MiMi made it for me." Doesn't get any sweeter than that. I'm taking a break, baking dessert for Christmas Eve dinner with my DS, DIL and DGD, then I'll review Jenny Doan's tutorial on putting a binding on with the machine and see if I can finish it, then wash and dry it before we go over there tonight. I need a miracle.

Hooray for you. It is finished.

"Terribly Beautiful" you might just need to name the quilt this! Some quilts just seem tohave lives of their own, don't they? Can't wait to see pictures.
