"Top is Complete"

Well, my friends, still not much happening here besides work and parenting. My right baby toe is badly broken, is extremely sore, and giving me fits. It actually feels better once I get my foot into a shoe but man is it painful getting into it as well as walking the first few minutes too. However, nothing is keeping me away from my quilting class. This week I was able to get the green border on as well as the final border. Look closely ...



All that's left now is measuring for the batting and backing, sewing on the binding, and the ever popular "stitching in the ditch" (which I hate because it's so hard). The next picture I post will be of the finished quilt, my first. I'm so jazzed !!! This quilt really only took me about six classes (about 15 class hours) and some extra hours at home doing my "homework" (which I can't even remember how long, but wasn't very much). I think this quilt has taken me approximately 20 hours to get this far. Not too bad, I don't think!!! I can't wait to start the next one, Matt's quilt. I just love all the ladies in the class especially Janet, the teacher. She's a kick !!! Well, not much more to say, so stay tuned if you want to see the finished product.
