Army Star - Quilted, Bound, Finished - Hoorah!
I finally finished a quilting project :-)
I machine quilted this, mainly in the ditch but with a few outlining lines thrown in. Backed with tan swirly fabric (a bargain at £4 per metre from the Spring Quilt Festival :-)) then did lazy binding by bringing some of the backing to the front to bind. I did have a minor mishap when I accidentally cut through part of the backing when trimming the wadding back :oops: but managed to rescue it without tooooo much trauma.
What I did learn from quilting this was that there is no way, with my current setup, that I am ever going to be able to machine quilt my Jacob's Ladder quilt - it is just too damned big! This feeling was reinforced when I spent this afternoon sewing blackout lining into Gman's curtains (he has the lightest room in the house and the flimsiest curtains - doh) and I really struggled to manoeuvre the curtains. So, looks like I might have to consider hand quilting after all. Might get it finished before the end of the decade..!
