"SAILING INTO THE FUTURE"

                                  I 've  Finished the back of Steve's quilt......

                              A lovely, breezy warmish day here....

                         Here is the reverse with all seams ironed open for
                                a really flat look ....good for graphic quilt, I think...
                          [I had to piece the border strips as you can see....]

                       I   am  so  happy  to   have  this   finished....👩
                              
                          [Now to sew up the batting strips--
                             I had originally thought of doing QAYG
                              so  I had pre-cut strips...but in looking at the
                                 zig zag pattern, I couldn't figure out how 
                                   I would have matched up the quilting lines....]
Sooooo,
That will be for another session tomorrow-- 
so that by this weekend ----hopefully --
I can
have it layered 
and ready to pin....
                                              I even like how the reverse looks ;))))

I hope you are all enjoying a lovely sewing day....

  1. Love the back you pieced, and it will look so nice with the flimsy. Can't wait to see your finish, but don't feel pressured. ;)
    I enjoyed your beautiful garden photos in your last post as well as the pretty courthouse steps. Glad you got stocked up on groceries. It's a good feeling isn't it. Your tea and good book sound so cozy.

    It looks good in your photos with the trees in the background. Good design for a guy.

  7. Methinks your back is as nice as the front so it will be a perfect reversible quilt. I'm sporting a fresh hair cut today - DH had a go at it again and this time we went really short. I like it!
