Finish for March
This was the first QAYG that I attempted. Except for the fact that I messed up in my orientation of one of the back panels, I'm pretty pleased with it....and I actually did a "not so bad for me" meandering on it!
And it's my best binding to date!

started 22 years ago
On my daughter's 10th birthday she & her friends painted these squares. There were 10 girls there so some of the squares have gotten misplaced but I came up with 7 so I put 1 on the back. That was 22 years ago & I plan on giving it to her on her 33rd birthday this August.
It's still got the binding to go & a label but I'm counting it as my March finish. I plan to do those in the next couple of days so that it will really be done before I have surgery for severe carpal tunnel on my right hand. (7 weeks post op on the left one now).

I did actually! It lined up much better than I thought it would and I was chicken to try meandering a large piece,so did this in two pieces. I messed up in the placement of one of the back side panels (and I checked it several times!) but overall it was easier than I had anticipated. I will try it again...but I also think I gained enough courage to try and quilt a whole quilt in one piece.
I also think black thread on black fabric is very forgiving!
