Lala's Quilted!

I've done it!  It took hours and hours and hours and so much thread... BUT... Lala's Scrappy Irish Chain Quilt is finished! 

I was questioning my decision to quilt it "just as Lala did" before I was even half-way finished.  

I was too far in to change my mind and yet soooooo far from the finish line.

I kept telling myself, "It will all be worth it in the end."

And I was not lying to myself!  I adore it!  My sore arms and back will recover with the assistance from our hot tub.  

And though the quilting is done... I still need to get the binding done and then there are those dastardly tails of thread.  I'll not complain since I will be sitting in different position and a different chair.

928 two-inch squares were outlined... 32 setting squares outlined and quilted with daisies...

And with each one, I get just a step closer.  I was entertained with several audio books, but by the farm scenes, animals and butterflies as I stitched every line.  

But honestly, it went on and on and on!

I'm doing a little happy dance right now but will soon be back in the studio prepping the binding.  I may have to work a little magic to get the binding out of the blue fabric.  Fingers crossed... I'll have just enough!

Check back with me on Monday to see if I had success.

Keep Piecing,

Melva
