I apologize for interrupting your regular Halloween night programming, but this big quilt just moved from the ancient UFO stacks to it's forever bed!!
I shared how I was finishing it in four sections HERE. This morning I finished quilting the last bit down the center of the quilt where the two halves were joined together.
This afternoon, I took it along to my Wednesday stitching group to trim (no large empty surface at home!?!).
The binding was cut so I could get right to that when I got home!
I love the way the back looks!! I used Maderia Thread's 40 wt. AeroQuilt machine quilting thread in variegated teal/green/blue. I am always pleased with the bobbin tension when I use this thread.
The quilt was started by my oldest daughter about 15 years ago and I've been plodding along with it for the past 5 years. I threw it out across her bed for a quick preview of how it will look in use.
It's good!!
She's not home from work yet, so I folded it up and left it on her bed as a surprise.
Now she'll have a new quilt to match her new house when she moves in later this year!!
The pattern is my design -- Mississippi Mud -- you can order a PDF version in my Etsy shop right HERE!!
Ready to set a new goal for November!!
Don't eat too much candy this weekend!!
