After months of work, the Fall Quilt is done being quilted.
It barely looks like I spent a day on it. I can say that some of it is due to
the fact that I only spent a couple hours a week on it during lunches at the
veterinary clinic where I had to fend off one rather obnoxious and
attention-grabbing cat on more than one occasion, or I could simply say that this
was my first attempt at hand quilting and I was learning as I went. Methinks
the latter will be my official answer.
So, with the quilting done, it is time to bind the quilt.
While part of me is thinking it would be great to hand bind, the other part of
me is not sure if this is a wise decision. Since I am simply using the backing
as the binding on this project, perhaps I should just fold it over the top and
straight stitch with the sewing machine. Then again, with no machine stitching
showing on this quilt, perhaps I should instead fold the remaining backing,
machine stitch it in place, then hand sew the binding to the front. Decisions,
decisions.
