Yeah, I changed its name. I’m so happy that I’m done with it! Sunday mid-afternoon (two days ago) I finished it, hung it up outside in the freezing cold, snapped a few shots, bagged it, ran to the car, and payed a visit to my “Grandpa!” It all happened so fast! Unfortunately, because I was so rushed, I only took a picture of the front. My memories of what I did will have to suffice for the rest.
It turned out so well. I tried really hard to make it as flat as possible the entire time I was making it. There is only one small place on it that puckers! 😀 I was so happy because it’s been a problem for me to not get puckers and bubbles when I’m quilting.
Before I did the finishing touches of sewing closed the opening and making a label on Sunday, Friday and Saturday I worked for four hours machine quilting. First I had to mark it (that took a while).
Then I made it as flat as possible, pinned it, and sewed the closest line to the center first. I did this for the smaller panels, too. It took a total of 23 hours and 36 minutes. My siblings kept asking if it was done yet. 🙂
“Grandpa” was so happy and surprised! He really loved it, and said he would put it “right on” his couch.
Thanks for reading!
