Hello, friends. Are you wondering where I’ve been? It seems like ages since I published a post. The good news is I finally have something quilty to post about:
It’s been six weeks since I made the binding for my ’30s reproduction quilt, Vintage Vignettes, but I didn’t actually get the binding sewn on until yesterday. This morning I joined the loose ends of the binding to complete the final seam . . .
. . . and sewed the remainder of the binding in place.
Then I started tacking down the binding on the back, a process I really enjoy:
As soon as I arranged the quilt on my ironing board to take a picture, Coco put in an appearance:
Her right paw is on top of the spot where I starting tacking down the binding. I always like to start near a corner to get the first of the mitered corners out of the way. So far I’ve stitched seven inches. Let’s see, now . . . this quilt measures 80″ x 92″. That means I only have 337 inches to go!
It’s such a relief to know that others have “quilts-in-waiting”!! Coco must have decided she needed to help!
I love the colors of the quilt and the kitty!
So glad you are back and have help with the binding!
Love your blog, looked in the archives and found your scattered stars quilt. Purchased a few pieces of the Penny Rose cheddar and indigo, but none of the light ones. I have found 1 of the light ones in the UK, however, they want $25.00 for four fat quarters. Keep inspiring – your work is fantastic!!
Coco is ever so charming but with more passive-aggressive tendencies than any person I know!!
