2010-Oct.31 This is no trick today- I FINISHED-YEAH!

My Friend, Dolores and I went back to our teacher, Jean, for our next step. This step is to pin..... I laid the backing on the floor, then tape it to the floor with blue painters tape, then lay the batting right on top of that and then lay the quilt top on top and pin it. I used 4 boxes of pins for this. I think this was tougher than cutting and sewing the blocks. It is very hard for me to get on the floor and it took me . . . . . . . "f-o-r-e-v-e-r" to pin and it was hot on the floor and people kept coming in to the store. A little girl had the nerve to step on my blanket. And I told her, "Excuse me! I am trying to make a quilt and you just stepped on it." She looked at me, then at my quilt and said, "Oh, I'm sorry." But it sounded like she really wasn't and she didn't understand why I said something to her. DUH! this is my 1st quilt, little girl!

Dolores and me trying to figure out what we are doing! hehe...

My quilt rolled up in my bag. So now that I am at home, what to do, what to do!!

I am tying my quilt - this time anyway! I wanted to know how it was for my Grandmother and their Mothers. To do this by hand. But I didn't have a frame, I just laid it out on my table. I am so excited about getting this far on my quilt!

Next step - - the binding. I have bought material and will make my own binding.

OMG! I am done. Lookie, Lookie at what I did. . .

What Do You Think? Please let me know what you think!

I see that quilters name their quilts....I will name this one...... "DragonFly".

And my next project will be . . . oops. . . it's a surprise. But I already bought the material. And this one will be a different kind of quilt than my 1st one. This is so exciting!
