My Granddaughter's Quilt - FINISHED!
We drove to Connecticut while I worked on trying to finish my granddaughter's quilt. I'd convinced myself that it was OK if it wasn't finished by the time we got there. It wasn't to be a Christmas present (you can't give a child a quilt for Christmas - it's just not a good Christmas present) so I figured if I had to sit and work on it while chatting and enjoying time with our family, that was no problem. Still, part of me wanted it to be finished by the time we pulled up to the house.
Five minutes before we arrived, I put in the last stitch.
On this quilt, I sewed the pieces together on the sewing machine for the topper. But I hand-stitched everything else - I quilted the batting and backing/lining together, doing a "stitch-in-the-ditch" and hand stitched the binding.
