After almost 27 hours and 17 days I have finished quilting the raffle quilt. I've trimmed off the excess backing fabric and wadding.
The pins have been returned to their respective bowls and containers.
The floor has been readied and the tools laid out to square it up and pin it. Blocking the quilt helps to keep it square. The pins will again be in use, as the quilt will be pinned every inch around the outside edges, through the camping foam floor squares.
I will be taking it with me to Toowoomba Quilters on Tuesday, to finish sewing the binding and hanging sleeve on. Then I will only need to finish the quilt bag before it's first Official airing at Queensland Quilters Picnic on Tuesday 8th May.

What a fantastic looking quot, hope they sell lots of tickets
ReplyDeleteYou've done a fantastic job Lyn. What do you use the camping foam floor squares for?
ReplyDeleteThe camping floor squares saves having a wet quilt sitting straight on the carpet, and I can pin into them easier than pinning into the carpet.
ReplyDeleteWow what a marathon in Quilting and crawling round floor pinning every inch of quilt.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing it on Tuesday.
Lovely quilt! Wish I could see it in real life...
