The DWR saga continues...

This has been the most troubled quilt I have ever made. As you may remember, I spent a lot of time ripping out the arcs when I made the top. I had it quilted by a lady with a long-arm machine and it is beautiful. I put it aside when it came home from the quilter to make two quilts for Christmas and a baby quilt.

Last weekend I made the bias binding, but wait.... I messed up the binding! I did the continuous bias binding method and as I was cutting it apart I realized it was not on the bias!

I'm not really sure what happened. Thankfully I still had enough fabric to try again and did it right the second time. I was worried that I wouldn't have enough to go all the way around but finally I did something right! It is ready for me to hand stitch it to back. Will it ever end?

LOL

The end is in sight! Just be careful hand stitching...don't prick your finger and bleed on it!

It's almost over! It's almost over! It's almost over!

Maybe I should wear a thimble on every finger! I'll be careful!

Hang in there, Linda...it's almost done! :) I've had projects like that...ones that just didn't seem to want to be made.

You have my sympathy lol!!!! Mine was the 'cat' quilt I was making for a Christmas gift. The snails trails came out OK and then the appliqued cats faces were OK. At that point I had thought about making another in a scrappy theme. NOT ANYMORE LOL!!!!
I had to take out the first rat and I still didn't like them. My daughter has a zoo so they call it the weasel quilt and it wil be used!

Linda, the quilt top was stunning so I know the entire quilt will be too! Thank goodness you have more fabric.

I started hand stitching the binding tonight. It is going to be a long process. I am thinking of entering this quilt in the guild's show in June so I am trying to do my very best on the binding by stitching down the miter in each valley. Uggh!
