Quiltin'

Man, it's tiring to quilt a quilt on a machine. Pushing all that fabric through over and over again. It's a work out! It's done though...so yay. (the quilting part)

Now I have to sew the binding on, by hand, thank you very much. I've never done that, so I had to look it up online...here is the tutorial I found that helped the most. It has pretty pictures and step by step instructions. Which my instruction-handicapped brain really needs. Oh, the pattern I used is from this book, which I got for Christmas. Thanks hun!


So, I've done almost the equivalent of one side of the quilt while watching the second half the Biggest Loser. Not too bad! Please, don't do what I did and start the binding on the back. grr.

Jessica, you are the woman. One day you say "I'm going to make a quilt" and the next day you are half way done with it. Amazing simply amazing!
