\"Patchwork<\/a>
Patchwork Palooza top done<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I finished the Patchwork Palooza top, back and binding last weekend and took it to Colleen yesterday. That is one project off of my overcrowded plate. <\/p>\n

I started<\/a> this project in September. I was late to the scene, but caught up. September-January isn’t too bad for piecing a quilt. <\/p>\n

What I found annoying was that I had to receive a lot of marketing emails along with the patterns for the blocks. I don’t mind exchanging my eyes for a few marketing emails, but there were many, or what seemed like many, per week and it got old. I unsubscribed after not receiving the finishing instructions promptly and went my own way. I am pleased with the edge, which is comprised of ‘finishing’ off the Irish Chain bits of the design.<\/p>\n

I made the binding right after I finished the top, which was a good move on my part. The back took me longer than I expected and I am sure I wouldn’t have had everything ready when Colleen contacted me if I hadn’t done that. <\/p>\n

One thing I need to do is collect ideas for quilting as I go along or before I go to Colleen.<\/p>\n
