Quilted, bound, finished

This week I’ve worked quickly to finish this quilt.

It’s all bound and ready…

just in time to give to Harry as he begins his final undergraduate vet rotations.

I hope it keeps him warm and helps him study for his final exams.

Short timelines

As always I’m in a hurry and a flurry.

The fabric that arrived last week has been cut and stitched into blocks.

Those blocks have been stitched into rows.

Those rows were stitched into a quilt top.

The whole thing has been quilted…

and approved by the quality controller.

Onto the binding.

Time thief

“This quilt is only small.” I told myself.

“This will take no time at all to quilt.” I agreed with myself.

“It’ll be finished in just a couple of hours.”

Naturally I have chosen the densest windy swirls to quilt onto the blue. They’re perfect for the background, but highlight how deluded I am about the time I take to do anything…

It’ll be worth it, but you’ll have to come back in a day (or two or three or four) for me to show you the results.
