Doing the Happy Dance.....
I finished my SKOW Quilt at 6 PM today, Tuesday, November 20....
I chose a pale gold (actually darker than the photo) for the backing
and a darker tone on tone gold for the binding.
I machine quilted in the ditch between strips, blocks and patchwork.
What a great feeling I am sure! Good for you during this busy time of year. I have one more section to quilt and the binding and I will be joining you in a happy dance.
congrats on your finish Sammie........the gold binding looks great.......well done on the quilting..........thanks for being part of the SAL.........I love that everyone has chosen their own colours.....
