I would really like to go sledding today, since Central Ohio has received almost a foot of snow since yesterday afternoon! However, seeing that my driveway is probably starting to drift & I don't have any good sledding hills close, I decided to stay inside and do the next best thing... sew ;) I should re-phrase... pin ;) I was having some trouble finding enough floor space to tape this queen size quilt down, but after some strategic furniture re-arranging... I think I have found enough space. My goal is to get the entire quilt pinned today & start on the grid quilting... so, I better stop posting & get to work!!
This is my favorite part of quilting! I'm so excited when the actual quilting is finished (especially on this one ~ since this is the largest one I've quilted myself) and you can begin to see the finished product. For the quilting I did basic stippling on the inside white portion & tried small stripes on the outer border that remind me of a pair of brown & pink pinstripe pants I have. I like the end result, but it was very time consuming! I'm looking forward to getting the binding finished because this quilt is the center piece of my bedroom re-decorating project.
