One of the reasons for the slow process was the batting I used. I was trying to use an inexpensive polyester batting that I got locally. I really never enjoyed doing the quilting on it. And sadly the problems I had with it show up in the quilting. It is not my best work.
Nevertheless, I joined the three pieces with joining strips that I had made -and actually labeled and saved all this time. It is one rather large quilt. On my queen bed, it has a nice drop at the foot and on both sides.
I decided on a brown binding to go with the borders on the quilt. I didn't audition it as it was dark brown - but it doesn't match. "C'est la vie" or in Spanish "Es lo que hay"
Meanwhile, housebound boredom set in and I both colored and cut my hair - in that order. Fair disclosure, I worked in the beauty industry for a number of years. So I do have some skills in that area.
Here's looking at YOU, kid. |
Hang in there folks.

380 inches seems like a mile when you're making binding doesn't it? I like your choice of brown - even if it doesn't match - the darker brown will look just fine. Nice hair color and cut - and your selfies are much better than mine - good thing my quarantined sanity does NOT include them - LOL - ;))
Finished is better than perfect. At least it can be enjoyed now. If you close your eyes you won’t see any imperfections.
I thought that was your natural hair color!
Lol, your not best work would definitely be my very best!
Great job on the hair. I am letting mine go grey......oh boy. I understand about the poly batting...I don't like it either.
