I am excited & relieved... to have completed the final stitches a few minutes ago!
Needing a place large enough to complete a quilt of this size-
I converted our dining room into a temporary sewing room
I spent ALL day Saturday cutting & piecing binding!
By Sunday's end- I had finished attaching the binding-
and realized I now had WAYYYYY more than I had intended.
Oh well... plenty left for pillows and curtains!
...roll... pin... stitch
And for the next week+
I could be found right here-
on this couch- buried beneath this quilt-
stitching for hours at a time
It felt like I would never finish!
And then... I did!!!! Woooohoooo!
Sleeve needs to be 90 inches from quilts bottom
to hang correctly at our show

My quilt... at rest... allowed to lay flat---
me, off to collapse!

This looks awesome, Robyn! I love your selvage binding!
The quilt is amazing! I am always in amazement when this quality is produced with so much imagination and professionalism! Totally awesome!
TY Kat. I created a real sewed bits of selvage binding... but it was too thick to turn. So after a yard or so... I auditioned several other options.
When I stumbled on this multicolored mock selvage stripe by Timeless Treasures I knew I was taking a chance... but decided to just do it. "Quilt Police" will likely hate it- but I am really glad I went with it!
TY so very much for your kind encouraging words. I am obsessed with collecting & creating with selvages- but this is my first queen sized quilt putting them to use...
