The quilt top got finished Wednesday evening.
I'm quite pleased with the borders.
I finished piecing the back late last night/early this morning. This was an effort to use as much of her Downton Abbey fabric as possible. I did have to buy some more fabric, which was a neat trick since that line isn't made anymore.
Without showing the label, for privacy reasons, here's a closer lok a the details on the back.
The whole quilt gets layered and basted tomorrow afternoon. I'm got a friend coming over to help me since two sets of hands will likely be necessary. Today I'll make the binding because having it done ahead of time will be nice.
While I was out shopping for more fabric and batting on Friday, I picked up another stuffed animal pattern. This fellow is going to be fun!
And His Fuzziness decided to delay mowing the lawn for a few hours yesterday in favor of picking and de-petaling a mess of dandelions. There will be dandelion wine in our future. The spheres are re-hydrated golden raisins. The contents are happily bubbling in the stock pot. Apparently the recipe calls for letting everything ferment together for 3 days before straining the chunks from the liquid and continuing fermentation in another vessel.
That's all for now. I should find breakfast and get to making binding. I'm hoping to have everything mostly quilted by next Sunday. It's going to be a heavy job with all that fabric. There will have to be periodic breaks to rest my arms and shoulders. See you next time!
