Yea, Connie! Your quilt looks great! Way to go. I love your fabric choices.
I've got one of the triangle borders attached. Hey! It's progress! :lol:
I'm in the process of re-doing the sewing room and am having to move everything out of the room so it's taking time away from the actual sewing. It'll be worth it in the end but meanwhile it's taking forever to finish my NYD project. I'll get there. Perhaps even today or tomorrow! One can hope!

SO happy to finally be joining all of you in posting a finished quilt top!
After watching everyone posting their finished top I finally got motivated today and finished mine. Ta-daa!
Did any one else have problems fitting the saw-tooth border? Mine wanted to make ruffles! Argh!
I'm not sure HOW to quilt this thing. The rick rack made very hard lumps in the seams so I will have to avoid all seams when quilting. This will be an unfinished quilt for now. Once I have my sewing room finished I'll be able to better consider what to do with this thing.

The color is truer in this picture than the other one.

Connie and Yvonne- both quilt tops are very nice!
After finishing machine tacking down my binding - I left the blocks sitting on my hall stand I wanted to hand sew them when I was on holiday!!! Seven days later and they are still untouched but I am somewhat relaxed - car broke down on the way home and I will tackle them over the next weekend!
I am also unsure on how to quilt this one!
