The need to finish

Now that Shakespeare is a flimsy, you'd thing I'd start something new, right? Uhh! No! I have a craving for finishing something. So I'll pull out an older project and get it DONE!

I grabbed "Far Away" because it is almost done. Only needs the binding... or so I thought.

As I was cutting away the extra batting and backing, I came across this section and noticed something.

There is something missing on this border. Can you figure out what?

 Here's a picture of the border on the other side. Now, can you see what's missing? Yep! It's missing the quilting on one side! I laughed so hard I almost wet myself lol.

Why on earth have I put it away like that? Silly girl!

 Only a dozen stars, or so, to do and THEN, I will put the binding on! It's more hand sewing then I thought but that's all good.

"Far Away" is all flannel and very scrappy and busy. I picked a stripped green flannel which picks up the green in the border fabric so much better in real life than this photo shows. I think it adds order to the chaos of the quilt too.

I'll show more pictures of "Far Away" when it is done, hoping that, by then, the sun will be back in my backyard.

Hope you find some hand sewing to do today. Or you can just join us at Kathy's place (Kathy's Quilts) for more hand sewing eye candy.

Linking with Angie from A Quilting Reader's Garden for Wip's Be Gone. I know I am late but ... so what!

I am also linking with Cynthia from Quilting is More Fun Than Housework for Oh Scrap! This quilt is a true scrap buster. See you there.

I will also join Julie from Julie K Quilts for Binding Blitz. More inspiration. More fun.

Edited: You can see the finished quilt here.


Until next time ...
