New Year's Eve

Here is what I did on New Year's Eve. Pin basting. I am going to machine quilt this quilt for the contest that JoAnn Fabrics is having. I spent several hours in my dining room bin basting this quilt. This is the second quilt I did for the contest. The first one did not pass muster and I have set it aside for now. I will add more blocks and several borders to that quilt and finish it for my son and my daughter in law. Hey a project to do in January!!

I have started machine quilting it and it looks really good. I am hoping to finish it tomorrow. Then add the binding which is the teal and get the pictures taken and mailed off ASAP.

In stitches,

The Contest Quilt

 
The contest quilt top is done!! I finished it last night and I simply adore it. It will get bound in teal and I am hoping to get it done this weekend. Of course, my weekend starts on Saturday at 4:30pm and ends at midnight on Monday. I will prep the backing today and open the batting and after Church and dinner tonight I will be pin basting the quilt with gobs of pins. I have already decided on the quilting design and it will be quilted in verigated thread on the top and brown thread on the bottom which I should have gotten last night at the fabric store. Guess I will make another stop there after work.

In Stitches,
