Today I finally finished Trevor's quilt top. I am very pleased with the quilt overall even though it did not turn out anything like I originally envisioned. That happens a lot.
It will be a lap quilt... 56" square.
The outside border is not black, but a dark, dark green. Nice and rich. Next step will be quilting, so I am off to get batting tomorrow. The binding will be the same brown stripe as in the two narrow borders.
I bought a new Husqvarna sewing machine on Thursday. It made the last few stages of this quilt much easier. I will be a more accurate sewer with the custom 1/4" stitch adjustor on the machine.
I have been away on a wonderful visit to family and friends in the Kootenays. We began with a lovely family memorial for my Grandma who passed away in April. We went on to Nelson and stayed with my husband's brother and his wife... had a good visit with parents and nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles. We then spent three fun days with our good friends in Salmo. It was nice to get back to the mountains, but I did miss the big sky.
