A Finish!


This is a signature quilt that has taken me forever to finish.  I'm not sure why - it just has!  It is a gift that is long overdue - hopefully the recipients will be forgiving.  It's a small lap size quilt made of signature squares from the friends of the recipient.  The quilting was done by my favorite go-to quilter Joanne of Splitting Stitches.  She surprised me with this awesome heart design.  It is perfect for the theme of the quilt!
 
For the first time I used these:
Binding clips! They make sewing the binding a breeze.  If you haven't tried them you are missing out on saving time with this quilt step.  I loved them!
 
Here are two of the individual blocks I thought you might like to see.  I think you can see Joanne's quilting a little better in these pictures.


 
See you again soon!

    Al you might want to do is acquire the stickers from the finish on
    the dumbbells and put a socket on either side and tighten which will secure
    the plates.

    It is a part of their new strength line, which involves patented resistance

    Your work is beautiful Laurie, I love the colours in the border. Isn't it great when you have a 'finish'?
