Almost there

After seeing Maria's post today, I'd thought I'd try and inspire those like me that are almost there. I'm on the last 2 borders, I'm loving the dimples I'm creating in my hand quilting. I'm working a little every night. My poor Lucy Boston is very jealous.

Back to quilting.....

My top is off to be basted.

So after deciding on that extra border making it a queen-sized quilt, I realised that basting is the only thing I really hate about quilting.... I just detest it, and such a large quilt was so daunting.

After seeing a machine basted Lucy Boston at my sewing group last week... I didn't even know this was a thing. I've just dropped my baby off at the quilters.....to be basted.

So I am another step closer....

Off to the Quilters

My top has actually been finished since... I think it was end October - and I did put it in a post here at the time...... I have been procrastinating as to whether I should hand quilt, machine quilt, maybe a bit of both... but, as it has been sitting here for nearly 3 months I have decided to get it quilted!... so here it is already to go...

.......at least it will then be finished (after I do the binding) and will not end up as a UFO! 

Hope others are also finishing off this lovely quilt!

Happy Stitching
