Then I attached the first white borders, the random squares border and the outside white border.
Then it was time to pin the top on to the fleece I'd bought for the backing. Bright orange - you'll see the colour in a later photo.
By lunchtime I'd quilted a quarter of it.
And, by stopping time this afternoon, I'd finished the quilting. You can see the bright orange fleece on the back now.
Before I finished for the day, I cut some fabric for the binding. I had a white with bright stripes already chosen but then I thought it would look much better with a pop of black in it so I chose this one instead.
I hope to get the binding attached tomorrow and then it'll be cuddle up time! I can't wait! :o)
It is gorgeous and you're so quick!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Janet! :o)

Thanks, Ali. :o)
DeleteWell done. So bright and happy and do love that binding. I'm a sucker for stripes on binding. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan. I love stripey bindings - both straight and on the bias! :o)
DeleteOh Anne, you are soooooo speedy!! My poor quilt is still waiting to be pinned again, that is before I even think about sewing. The quilt looks fantastic, I love how the bright backing really goes with the brights on the front too, how great it is!! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy. I've finished the quilt now and I'm so chuffed with it! Nobody's getting this one - I'm keeping it for us!!
