A FINISH

So the other day I showed you the first of many blocks I have made for my Christmas quilt. 
Well I decided I couldn’t hold out any longer and wanted to share it with you all.  I finished my quilt.
So here it is before the quilting, I am pretty excited and happy about it, apart from one mistake which I didn’t notice until it was too late too fix, but I am going with the “its handmade” and only my second finished quilt,

 

Linking up to over at Freshly pieced.

 

I sent it to Sue my long arm quilter on Tuesday and I got it back on Thursday!. I still cant believe she could fit me in at such a busy time of the year! She is a star.
I didn’t buy binding for it when I bought the kit and after seeing it quilted I just had to buy coordinating fabric, so on Friday I went to the quilt shop that I originally bought the kit from, which is an hours drive away and got my binding fabric. Then on Friday evening I cut and sewed on the binding front and spent Saturday hand sewing the binding onto the back. I will post photos of the finished quilt when I get that post written up.
