Down the Drain: Finished<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I finally finished Down the Drain<\/em> on Friday night. Completely finished: quilting done, binding on, sleeve sewn down. Done.<\/p>\n

First, as I mentioned, I finished the quilting. Of course I could have stopped any time, but was clearly on a mission. I kept quilting minutely almost every single open space.<\/p>\n

I finished hand sewing the binding on earlier this week. Normally, the combination of tightly woven fabric (an AGF solid) and Aurifil make for slow going, but the combination worked great! My needle went through the fabric with no problem and I sewed the binding in only about 4 hours.<\/p>\n

I stitched the sleeve down in only about 2 hours. The whole process of making this quilting was so relatively painless. The experience was not and continues not to be painless. The actual process of making the quilt went so smoothly. I guess it was meant to be.<\/p>\n
