I finally feel like I made some real progress over the weekend. I finished 2 backs, 2 bindings and almost finished a top. I spent some time on Friday sewing, which I don’t normally do and that helped a lot.
The first item I finished was the Box Full of Letters back. I pecked away at it for about a week, which made it seem like it took forever. That was a frustrating feeling, because the piece is not very big. I finally finished it on Friday and that was a good feeling!
I always try to use large pieces, but somehow I end up with some fiddly piecing. I resolve not to do it again, but there it is.
I also sewed around the edge of the top to stabilize it as there will be no border and made the binding. The whole package is ready to go to the quilter. Hooray!
I really like this one. I hope I get to see it quilted, or do you have a plan for it?
You will get to see it quilted. I am going to take it to be quilted next week, with any luck. It will probably be a gift, but I don’t know who for yet.
