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.

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 - ;))
ReplyDeleteFinished is better than perfect. At least it can be enjoyed now. If you close your eyes you won’t see any imperfections.
ReplyDeleteI thought that was your natural hair color!
Lol, your not best work would definitely be my very best!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the hair. I am letting mine go grey......oh boy. I understand about the poly batting...I don't like it either.
