Well at last! Over the weekend I finished sewing the binding on and then the label on Michelle's baby quilt. All in time easily for our last day of FDC on Tuesday, tomorrow. It was Milly's last day on Friday but Grace was in two days a week, so its her last ever day tomorrow. Actually felt good on Friday as I drove to pick them up. Am looking foward to just Milly and I hanging together this year when Grace is in kindy.
Anyway, the quilt! I am happy with it, despite some puckering on the top here and there. I was too hasty in sandwiching it all together and did it late on night on the lounge room floor with Daz's assistance, sort of! Mental tip to oneself, next time, take it up to Mum's house, do it on her big table with her assistance! I read recently in a quilting book that you should have a pattern or a tone on tone peice of material for the backing of your quilt, so the mistakes aren't as noticeable! Pffttt to that I say! I think the back looks great here. Its the largest quilt I have ever quilted. Well off to buy some wrapping paper and a card now!

Oh Wow Helen, the quilt is just gorgeous! I wish I had your patience, I'd worry that I'd get it started and never finished! Great job.
Helen you've done it again. The quilt looks beautiful and I am sure she will love it. Well done!
