When I sleep at night now I dream of waking to a bright cheery morning where I don't need to crawl out of bed, stretch out my fingers and begin the arduous task of quilting..... I am glad to report I am now on the homeward stretch and sewing down binding!!!
This is without it's problems, originally I had a second border on but decided against it mid way through quilting the borders. Asthetically I am very pleased with this decision, however since removing the outer border I have now created a large amount of bias in the border which is not a smooth as I like. In places I am having to really stretch out the border when sewing the binding as I am getting pin tucking.
Anyway, here is a last glance before you see the final version (hanging at Darling Harbour). You can see my problem - and I've rebasted and re-basted several times. Tried steaming it out. I am considering quilting another line down the centre but I don't know if I have the time (or the energy). This is a big quilt, 230 cm square!!! I've opted for a scrappy binding to go with the rest of the quilt, and to keep in theme the scrappy binding is of course in Liberty!!! In case you don't know, I ADORE Liberty!!!
I am looking forward to catching up with my Sue Ross Mystery BOM on the weekend (pending no visitors). Enjoy your week.

Wouldn't worry about it if I were you. I think it is great. A zigzag triple row though might look nice ...... You got time for that?
ReplyDeleteZigzag Tripple Row ..... aren't you just so funny!!!! Unfortunately no time. But did contemplate having squares on point running through the centre - but no time for that! Unless of course you would like to take a mental health day off and do it for me
