This quilt has been in the making for almost a year. I sewed the binding on and took it to the beach last July with the intention of doing the hand sewing while I basked in the sand. Didn't happen.
And then we got home and summer ended, school started, and more exciting projects reared their heads. And a boy needed to be played with.
Apparently Courtney is faster at binding than I am. This took me more like three nights.
But it's done and crossed off my WIPs list. And it's spring!
I really like this quilt! It's bright and happy and I like the fabric with the states on it. You know, sometimes those projects just have to sit until the time is right. Nice finish!
ReplyDeleteGood for you -- this looks great!
ReplyDelete(I confess to a wee bit of exaggeration ... but if I had told you it would take 3 nights, would you have even started???)
:-)

ReplyDeletefun quilt. so glad you can enjoy it now!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is so cute! The colors are so bright and fun and perfect for spring!
ReplyDeleteI am a slow hand sewer too. It usually takes me a night per side to finish up a big quilt
It's amazing how we procrastinate when just a short spurt of focus will finish a job.
ReplyDeleteGood on you for having the perserverance to finish that spectacular quilt!
Oh, it only took so long because it's a HUGE quilt! ...and hugely beautiful - aren't you glad you did it?!
