Progress!

Last night I finished sewing the binding on the ugly fabric quilt! This morning I put it through a short wash cycle and it is ready to give away.

Quilted and ready for binding.

I opted for a simple Baptist fan quilting pattern because the fabrics are pretty busy.

I found the backing in my stash.

The binding is the same bird fabric as the outer border.

The remainder of the day was occupied with arranging the appliqué on the raffle quilt border and sewing it all down with invisible thread and the narrow zig zag stitch. I have two flowers to finish tomorrow, and then the quilt will have two borders!! Progress!

We talked with Carolyn last night, and she is unpacking and getting settled into her new apartment. She is a bit dismayed that the new place isn't as big as her place in Charlotte was. Putting everything away is becoming a challenge. At least her cat is happy to see her perch again.
