BOUND TO FINISH

I have machine sewed my double fold binding onto Steven's Quilt this morning--it took me
 two hours...

Since these QAYG blocks are pre-quilted onto the batting all the way to the edges--I found out pretty quickly that it was going to be a tussle getting this sewn around evenly....very thick --even though I had trimmed the batting out of all the corners....so, I learned something new.....

I used B&W scraps to sew binding strips (except for):


this bit of gold sparking.....I only had two small pieces of this old favorite of mine--then:


A little bit of Grand-mere's accompaniment on the ivories to go with Steven's saxophone....

AND

                         Miss Libby's and Tiger's paw prints to remind him of home....

Now I just have to hand sew it down and add a label.

{Do any of you have any suggestions how to keep your quilt from catching and dragging on the front left side of your sewing machine table when you are pulling it through?--Aaaargh!!}

I need a good title for this one; it  has me stumped...Music, Math and Engineering.....
Colette suggested "Pi" which I like--perhaps "A Piece of Pi"  I just don't know.....
Any suggestions   would be appreciated....;--)))

hugs to you all from Snowy, Windswept, bitterly cold SE CT
P.S.  Hooking up with Moving It forward this afternoon....
