(This quilt is finished!)The Patchwork Times UFO project for February was #10. It's done. 2 days late.
I hand quilted for hours on end from February 14th to February 27th. The quilting frame took up most of the living room and the final push to get it done was mostly so we could have the room back!
(My wrist aches, but I'm not sure if it's because I quilted too much or because I haven't done any for 2 days and it's missing the activity.)
Ran out of fabric for the binding and an ice storm kept me off the road an extra day. Finally got out of the house Tuesday. I hand stitched the back of the binding down today.
Used actual bias cut strips and I must say I'm a convert. Straight cuts across the width of fabric may be easier, but I liked the way the bias folded so easy to the back. It's also supposed to hold up better and not wear out at the edge.

Awesome quilt and wow on the hand quilting. Wish I could, but know I will have to hire it out if I ever get a hand quilted quilt. Judy C
