Blocking

I figure I can take it back, wash it, then block it flat after I sew a sleeve on the back.
I just love how this looks and feels. Close-up pictures, warts and all.

Here's about blocking a quilt, one that has the binding on and one before binding. I have always done it before binding but I just wanted to get this quilt completed. I have two 4'x8' sheets of the pink insulation board that I lay out to do it.
