    Default Yay...Finished this King Quilt Today!

    I had such a horrible morning on another small project...took a break, got a clear head...and finished binding my quilt! I washed it prior to binding which I am glad I did...I wish I had washed the Balik first. It shrinks alot...but it looks fine This is a king quilt that I have been working on for our room. I did stitch in the ditch for quilting on this one, which was every easy to do. I am very pleased...I kept debating on sending it out to be quilted but could not justify it in my head to pay that much...so I took the plunge and quilted it...really not so bad. I think in my head I was so stuck on it being so large and overwhelming, but once I started I was fine.

    It's sometimes good to take a step back, easier said than done I know! But it turned out beautifully, so well done.
