Not quite as nice as a Shaken. Not stirred martini but I'm excited nevertheless!
The quilt top came together very easily and quickly.
I had to run into town to buy some backing because the sheet I'd purchased for this was too small. I was going to buy more of the lilac because it was still on sale but I realised I'd pay the same for a bigger sheet that I wouldn't need to piece to make large enough so I bought a queen sized flat sheet this time. The lady at the counter asked if I had the right size because there are no refunds on sheets you've previously opened. It was as though she knew what I'd done...
I put the quilt on the frame.
And started quilting it. I didn't get far before my thread snapped. Then snapped again. And again...
These pieces of masking tape are to mark where my threads broke so I could see them easily when I went to bury them. Look at them all. My quilt has spots!
But I got it finished yeah! And I've actually put the binding on!
All I need to do is hand sew the binding to the back of the quilt and make a label. I'd like to say that I'll be getting straight back to the Sunflower Farm quilt but...
I started something new! Oops!
