Nearly a month ago I was just finishing up the quilt sandwich on "Frolic", today I'm happy to announce:
It is completed!
I decided to go with an on-point grid since the blocks are set on-point and I do the machine quilting myself. I'm not brave enough to do free motion on something this large on my sewing machine and I'm too cheap to send it to a long arm quilter.
Binding time:
Joining the strips
After pressing the strip seams open and folding the long strips in half and pressing again, it was time to sew it to the quilt edge.
Turning the corner for the "Mitered" corner.
Binding sewn on and quilt edges trimmed
We had a nice rainy day on Saturday, perfect for sitting and hand sewing the binding on.
Admiring my mitered corner❤
I washed and dried the quilt yesterday evening. The sun was setting when I took my finish photos, so the fabric looks a littler darker than it really is.
Complete and ready to go to its' owner, enjoy your quilt Lora❤
