FMQ Friday


Last night I was able to FMQ two of the three border panels on the right side of my Layers quilt. Even though I'm already two weeks late on this wedding quilt, I'm quite pleased with my progress. I can almost see the end in sight. Of course you know I'm going to do something labor intensive for the binding.



I just ordered more thread. I'm psyched that Hawthorne Threads is now carrying Aurifil. They are located in Albany, NY, so it gets here really quick. 

I'm linking up to day with Leah Day for FMQ Friday!

    I must admit at first I was a little skeptical of how the border would turn out... but I must say, you've totally proved me wrong. It looks amazing!!!

    Taking the FMQ into the border is a great look. Loving it!

    I like how you decided to do the border. It ties it all together. Every time I see this quilt i think of volcanos and lava!

    Wonderful job. It's like a window looking out to another world..
    Or a lava flow at night.

    I am reminded of that line from the movie the Grand-k watch, Nemo. "Just kept swimming". But for you "just keep sewing, just keep sewing"! Are you entering it in any shows or the blog quilt festival?

    The border quilting is spectacular and the perfect choice for the quilt. A regular border just would not have done the trick.

    I love watching this develop!

    This is looking amazing, it was definitely worth quilting the borders too. I'm sure that they won't mind waiting for such a great present :D
