week 7: quilt along progress

Well folks week 7 is here and I have reached my finish line. My first quilt is done. I got to the binding this past weekend and surprisingly it was one of my favorite parts. Sitting on the porch, relaxing and hand sewing was so enjoyable. I will surely try another quilt in the near future. It was a learning process and I got to try some new things on my machine that I had never used, the Bernina rocks! As well as learning how to do a blind stitch, the right way and how to do corners, the right way! My quilt now lies happily at the end of our bed!Thanks for checking out my progress over these past weeks. Did you do an old red barn co. quilt too? I would love to see it. Send your link!

I love the way you did the binding! I never got a picture of my finished quilt... should I ask the new bride to take a picture for me so I can post? So you'll probably figure this out, but we're not headed to Celo this weekend... catch up with you next week!
