Am I Done?

 I had a marathon sew in this weekend.

I was determined to get the last

5 blocks 

of the  Just Takes Two

red and white sampler done

Which I did.

and sew the 4 sections together.

Which I  didn't finish.

Here's the top partially sewn together.
The last seam kind of stairsteps across the width of the quilt.
I need to make sure I have plenty of time
to tackle that.

Borders?

At this point my quilt top measures
74" x 92"

I leaning towards adding about a 2" border
of the Kona Snow around the entire quilt.

Reason?

To keep all those seams on the outer edge from
starting to unravel.

I think, even if I stay stitched around the outer edge,
some of those seams might give way.

Hopefully, over Christmas vacation I can:
finish sewing the top together,
clip a gazillion threads on the back,
do one more bit of redwork,
sew the backing together
and baste it together.

  Here's what I chose for the backing.

I wanted something fun and cheerful to go with the busy top.

I'm actually planning on

hand quilting this quilt just so I can

individualize each block.

It's been a long project.
And I'm glad the sewing is just about finished.

But I'm a long way from still being done!

Until Next Time-
