Finish Five,part A


This quilt top is the main reason I joined the Finish a Long.  It had been languishing way too long.  It is my daughter's wedding quilt and child number three is here. :(  I learned a valuable lesson on procrastinating.  I can't even find the book that has the original wall hanging directions.  I just made it bigger and got overly clever with all the colours and 'flowers'!  The wedding saw all but the last row and a half done.  Then she sat.  and sat and SAT!  enough.  But even with the April deadline I dragged my feet and that has put the other ufo's behind. BUT...

She is done and I will be putting her on the second quarter list for machine quilting and the final part B.  The binding is worrying me.  Why did I let DD talk me into all those curves???


The north rooms are also in part A mode.  I am slowly putting things back.  I need to think about some kind of curtain for the sliding doors. on the other hand...  Privacy isn't an issue so I'll make haste slowly.  lol  I am also deciding about darkening the table under the mirror and the round dining room table.  Then there are colour decisions for the hutch and bookcase. 

I hope to roll through some starched strips through the binder later today for the next twoquilts.  Is that a finish line just ahead???

Snoopy Dance!!!


I am SEW glad that this top is now finished!   Never ever again will I procrastinate to this degree! 



 I'm not even sure I'll be saving any of the 'also rans'!  Mind you, there are a lot of nicely cut pieces!  oye!
