I started reasonably early whilst it was still cool to put the binding on my big quilt. I was a little out on size it's about 80" by 90 ". My brain got confused as the blocks are 10 " & i though i'd done 10 blocks by 10 blocks not 8 blocks by 9 blocks. :)
Meanwhile Lil P thought my insert box was for her.
Next i pieced some backing together & fixed a couple of twisted seams on a quilt top ready for quilting.
My Christmas BOM blocks came next but i stuffed up trimming one so now i have to stitch it again. The borders were added to this one & a line drwnw to add the last bit of stitching.
I'd finished the 4 little bonus project stitcheries on Friday night so they were made into the top yesterday as well.
I took one project from the small project ufo pile to finish.
One last project to work on & time to take a break.
But before i could turn that machine of some boring clothes repairs needed doing too.:) :).
I started hand sewing the binding down at about 2:30 pm. With a few breaks during that time i finished at around 7pm.
Meanwhile after finishing the binding i went to do the label & someone though the quilt was there for her to hide in.
Then the quilting on my little Christmas table topper.
Happy Stitching,
