OK so it was back in February that I last posted about my GJ quilt...but here it is.... finally! It has been a very slow and long process, but I did bite of more than I could chew, last year and this year. Working on my Gingham Girls Quilt, joining in 2 quilts for Christchurch NZ and finishing off 6 Quilts for Queensland, another Quilt for a friend who lost everything in the Victorian Floods, and various other sewing projects.
But with gentle nudging from Chooky the last couple of weeks, during our emailing, I have finally put it all together. The stitcheries have been laying there just waiting now for the last 2 months. So I am very impressed that it has only taken one long weekend Monday to put it all together.

and here she is with the borders. Still not too keen on the green one, but it was with DS's opinion as the red I thought I had seems to not be where it should have been and I was not putting off completing it all on Monday.
Even have pressed the backing and made the binding, Mum is visiting later today, so with her help I hope to get it pinned and the quilting can begin!!!! I still have my Life is Beautiful Quilt on the go and my Vignette Hexagon Quilt as well. So apart from joining in on some projects from the SKOW book, I have decided not join the quilt along this time around! But I will share my projects from the book if I am allowed (wink)
Thanks for all the encouragement to keep at it through some very trying times in my family life. Hope to share some quilting with you soon.
