Our local quilt shop used to have mystery quilt night once every few months. You would pick a colorway and that's all you knew about it until you were almost done. Omg did my friends and I look forward to that night. The quilt below is a churn dash that was easy and fun to make. Seriously, we would sew and sew for hours and the top would be done when we left! I miss those classes! I quilted this on my friend Kim's Tiara and started to really get the hang of it by the time I was done. Lucky me...the newer version of that machine was on sale this weekend and before I knew it, I was signing on the dotted line. My friends were there when I was told about the sale, and Sandy had her calculator out crunching numbers in like 5 seconds. She told me I could afford it, and then I was in the office buying it! Holy cow. I am not suffering buyer's remorse at all. We told my daughter that she had to come and take her hope chest out of her old bedroom so I can put it there. Tonight she and Patrick came for it, so I am ready! Washed the window where it will be and washed the wood floor too. I am soooo excited.
Isn't the binding fun? Believe it or not, I am beginning to enjoy hand-sewing bindings on.
I used a pretty lofty batting, so the quilt is nice and warm. Hey, I am becoming a finisher now...not just a top- maker. Maybe I am turning over a new leaf!
