So the quilt top is done. And yesterday I worked like a crazy person to sandwich it all together. I machine stitched the majority of the rectangles down with thread that matches the fabric.

At the moment, I'm working on hand-stitching the binding. And that's the last step.

I'm whipping through this like there is no tomorrow because there isn't. I have a 7am plane to catch and then it's non-stop travel and business for a few weeks. I can't stand to have this project almost finished and am so exicited to share the final results.

    Can’t wait to see the finished project. How was machine quilting? Haven’t attempted that yet, but NOT willing to hand stitch anything else! My fingers hurt too much and it takes forever! GO!!!!

    How did you manage to get all that quilt through your machine to quilt it?? I quilted a baby quilt and it was tricky because there was so much quilt going through the “middle” of the machine, I can’t imagine being able to do something any larger…

    Hi! I love these dusty colors…may I ask where you got them/what brand they are? All the quilters cottons I find are so vibrant….these are amazing. And a good masculine/feminine compromise.

    Thank you! I bought them all at Joanns. They were just in the neutral quilting cotton section and cost about $4-$7/yard. 🙂
