Top Complete.....

Now to get the backing and off to the Quilter.....

I am soooooo pleased that this quilt is finally together.  Thank you so much for the move along I needed to complete the project.  I just hope it doesn't take you as long as it did for me to get to this stage!!

Happy Stitching and Quilting to all my Stitch-A-Long friends!!

Border Number One......

Is on....

The instructions say to cut this first border at 1 1/2 " but I have cut mine at 2  1/2" - I like it just that little bit wider.  I have cut the second border, ready to go,  I have cut it at 6 1/2" - I wanted to see as much of that yummy 'Chocolat' fabric as I could!!

More to come tomorrow I hope........

How lovely to have a long weekend here for Anzac Day, perfect Autumn weather to stitch some more.....

A great stitching day.........

We have had a public holiday here today for our local agricultural show.  What a great day I have had. 

Do you ever scan your stitcheries?  I have a few times and decided to scan my favourite block from the quilt.  One idea is that you can use the scan to print out and make little gift cards with them.  Very cute and very original too.

Wouldn't it be fun to go to a garden party in pretty dresses and hats like these ladies!!

Soooooo, with a very lovely public holiday to stitch and garden, my top is together.

Two borders to go.......

Looks like I will be snuggling under this yumminess for winter.

In Stitching Fun......

So far........

What a wonderful motivation this group is to get my beautiful quilt put together.  This has been an in between project over the last probably three years. 

When Chookyblue issued her challenge and the Stitch-A-Long was born all my stitcheries were complete and almost all of my fabric cut and sorted. 

One more block to put together and then to put the whole top together.  Excitement is growing here at Eleanor and Ruby. 

I am enjoying so much seeing the beginnings of so many different ideas and choices for this quilt.

Mine has been made completely from my stash, except I have purchased the borders. So much fun to Stitch-A-Long with you all.  Hopefully the final block will be put together today and maybe even begin to piece the top.   It's a public holiday here, so lovely to be at home with hopefully some time to stitch a little.
