I’ve finished quilting the Wedding Quilt and have the binding made. Last night I went to my longarm networking meeting and was able to whip stitch down the tucks in the back; they aren’t very visible and at lease they lay down now. Tonight I will start attaching the binding and will machine stitch it down.
The Mother of the Bride said this about the preview photos I sent her:
“The quilt is gorgeous....I feel better already… The product itself is so amazing, the extra line on the back side [from machine stitching the binding on the front] is certainly not an issue. I am a bit envious of them having such a quality heirloom quilt, but also proud to have been a part of it. I love what you did to the border -- such an artist you are.”
Since she put together the blocks made by the family, she knew that they were not consistently made, or the same size, so she had her doubts. Quilting certainly makes all the difference in the world to an unfinished top.
I’ll post photos when I finish it completely, as I think the red binding will add another dimension.
