I finished this quilt top over the weekend, it is
AJ's Mystery Quilt. Well it is not longer a mystery as it is finished! It's the biggest thing I have sewn for ages! I had to peg it to the clothes line to get it all in the photo.
I used up every single pin I own! I realized after I had taped the backing down that I had run out of spray adhesive, so I have sandwiched it without, pinned every 6 inches which I hope is enough...
Now I just have to wait for this to get better before quilting it. I pulled a cuticle back about 10 days ago and thought it would heal by itself but its getting more painful each day and if I accidentally knock it against something, the pain brings tears to my eyes. I have just googled
finger cuticle infection and supposedly if I don't get it seen to my finger will fall off! So off to the GP we go tomorrow. :(

OUCH!! That looks painful!!
But your quilt looks cool!!! I have mine pinned too...for about a month now...should start quilting it before the pins rust!!
Nasty looking finger. Off to the doctor with that one!
Congratulations on finishing that quilt top. It feels so good to put those final stitches into a project.
Now, are you planning to machine or hand quilt? Either way, I'm guessing it will be a big job. Good luck.
Andi :-)
Helen the quilt looks great, the finger not so great
OUCH! But the quilt looks great!
The quilt looks fantastic!
I have to say that finger looks nasty. I can imagine just how much it hurts,
Gorgeous quilt - and the finger is pretty too in it's own way. :) Hope it's feeling better soon.
Ewwwww, I so didn't need to see that!
What a bright and happy quilt!
Such a fun top! Your fabric choices really make it great.
Good luck with your owie :-/
Oooh your poor little finger. Hope it heals up soon xx
I LOVE the quilt, the colours are amazing (especially the border fabric, very yummy)
That's lovely, Helen - so colourful! I hope your finger gets better quickly. It's such a pain having a sore finger (I had a ganglion a couple of months ago) You don't realise how much you use your hands everyday until you get something like that.
OUCHY! I hope it doesnt fall off!
The top looks fabulous! Great colours.
Ouch! I hope your finger is better! It does not look good at all...
The quilt looks wonderful -and huge!
Good lord you have been busy Helen! And now I understand about 'the finger'! Hope it's all better now.
Great work on the mystery quilt. Where's it going? On the wall, a bed or somewhere else? It's lovely.
ooh I have had that exact thing not too long ago! The doctor decided to lance it and I screamed! It took a good dose of antibiotics to get it better, so be patient. Hope it is feeling much better soon.
