Ooh, Ooh Exciting Quilting News!

I've just had an email from LongarmChris
to say that the first ever quilt I made
is ready for collection!!!
 (I nabbed these photos from Chris's email -
hope she doesn't mind!)
 I am so pleased that after all these years
- well over 20!
I am just one more step away (the binding!)
from finishing this quilt.
 It will be very exciting to see it in the flesh
 and I am so looking forward to collecting it asap!
Thank you Chris!

Gorgeous quilting complimenting a lovely pattern - you have to do a scrappy biased binding to match that inner border - it will look absolutely luscious!!!

Congratulations on this beautiful starry quilt - just shows that it's never too late to finish! Love the design and the quilting on the white spaces.

Congratulations! It's a good feeling to get something that has been in your stash finished :o) I've just sent one of my oldest projects to a long-armer and I can't wait to see it finished and in use. :o)

It looks absolutely fabulous! How did it linger so long unfinished?

I'm from South Africa too, but has now been living in UK for 23 years! This quilt is just lovely, I love everything about it, the colours, the design, the quilting. Please post a photo when you have finished the binding.
