Well here it is, the top anyway, just in time.................Inbetween packing up my house to move I pulled out my sewing stuff and as I had it all on the dining table ready to pack, I decided to just cut the two border pieces and quickly sew them together when my son was asleep (little 14mth old hands love everything they can reach on the table).............
I'm afraid I'm not going to get time to go and buy batting today and then quilt and bind.......that is just not at all possible.
I'm really happy with the outcome and I'm going to try machine quilting for the very first time. I did a class with Deb Louie a couple of mths ago and thought this was the perfect quilt to attempt my 'quilting in the ditch' and 'free-motion' - wish me luck.
I'm thinking of the lightblue as the binding too..........or maybe red?
I also want to add that I've really enjoyed this SAL Chooky - thanks for organising. Its so lovely to see everyone's work and different fabrics. I hope you have all enjoyed this as much as me!!
Happy Stitching, Susie
