Phew!! It's together at last ! And my back/side/shoulder/hand
are only a bit sore from hauling this through Helga--(she wasn't too thrilled with the seam intersections--uff-dah!!).
I am going to let her rest along with me, after unpinning the basting pins.....
I think that QAYG seam buttings are so thick that they should be trimmed away completely...who knew????
As you can see here, the intersections are wonky (to say the least)--BUT.....
DONE, FINIS, FAIT ACCOMPLI, ....I truly didn't think that I would be able to smoosh thisbaby through....
Now, Le Quilt is set up on my mat on the dining table so that I will be able to trim that extra border flush with the quilt and then make the binding.
Not today though--perhaps this weekend. And,
speaking of this coming weekend....
We will be going to see Steven play lead alto in his High School Band and in his Trio Concert on Saturday. What fun!!
AND.................
I have two more little sections left on my Comfort Cloth--the hand is pretty sore though, so stitching will have to wait--hello...CAN YOU SAY Epsom Salts anyone???? Plan on soaking it--(I should go and soak my HEAD!! grrrr).
I will not be machine quilting ANYMORE large bed quilts....big stitch hand quilting or tying....is what I see in my future. So, plan waaay ahead will become my
new Mantra.
Thank you for all your concerns during my absence. I couldn't even type--and frankly, was quite a "BEAR"...grrrrrr. Not good company--
just ask my DH....;--0000
hugs
Julierose, La Blageuse (finished-euse)YAY!!
