And, she is trimmed and her binding has been installed, which happened in last Sunday’s quiet–after a long pause in finishing these steps. Recall that this quilt is the third in my half-rectangle triangle series made with the Hurty ruler designed by Latifah Saafir.
The texture on this quilt is really “lovely,” and is from the pantograph “Lovely.”
I’ve been using a small square ruler to trim. my quilts–this one is 9.5 inches. A smaller ruler gives me a lot of control, so thanks to this suggestion months ago from master quilter Bonnie Hunter on her Quiltville blog.
By early evening I had organized the binding and label–and was JUST going to install the label and ONLY start the binding. I had already set up this sewing area which involves surrounding it with extra flat surfaces (ironing board and a table). But everything went along so smoothly that I kept going. I usually sew from about 3 to 7 pm, and then eat and watch tv. I finished this binding by 7:45. I don’t look gift horses in their mouthes, so when something I’m sewing goes this smoothly, I…can’t stop. And, anyway, I needed some night handwork like sewing down binding on a large quilt. Besides, I ate a very late big meal at almost 2 pm.
And here it is–waiting for me after I eat a light supper while watching tv.
This final step is fun for me as it means a quilt is almost ready to share.
