A finish... well almost again

Well my beginners sample is all quilted I will try and get the binding done on the weekend.  I used bamboo wadding and a voile on the back and it has a lovely drape and is soft even with all the machine quilting so it will be a combination I will use again if it washes up ok.

Now all that needs to be done is write up the notes for my students.  I think that will take me a while but at least I have nearly 2 months to get them right now and I may even take the opportunity to make another sample.

Had a bit of a disaster with the appliqué quilt, cut 2 borders the wrong size but I managed to get my hands on just enough fabric to cut 2 new side borders so all is well.  Would have hated to have to design appliqué to cover a seam.  Apart from stitching down some stems the quilt has come to a stand still at the moment while the beginner sampler is finished.  It will be back on schedule next week though.

Beautiful quilt, I love the colors. I hate it when there are cutting errors during a project. Glad you were able to recover from yours.

I'm struggling to keep up at the moment where are you teaching?
