Done, fini, complete, finito, fertig, færdig!!


What a relief!
I chose a new pantograph.  I wanted movement for this quilt. I went online to my favourite pantograph website and purchased Sound Wave by Jessica Schick.  This is a fabulous pantograph.  You have so many options when you work with it.  You can adjust the widths of the sound waves, make them 1" apart or 2" apart or do a combination of both. You can s-t-r-e-t-c-h them out, or make them closer together.  All up to you.
 It stitches out quickly but it looks fabulous when it is done.
I had this fancy thought in my head to do three different colours of thread.  That went by the board when I found out I don't have a dark brown or the right shade of red.  I chose a neutral thread 
The front.....
 the backing.....
pre-binding......
I placed it on the table by my chair and someone discovered it.....
 It must have been comfy......
 It's up!  It was a struggle to get it there so it won't be coming down anytime soon
It turned out bigger than planned, but it's done!!
I even saved the wee bit of selvage.  I sewed it into the sleeve and then pretended my stitching was hand quilting.  I couldn't hand quilt to save my soul.
