Progress and Beauty

Look at this!  My caladium has two blooms 
and one more on its way! 
 Just beautiful.
I sewed the binding on this quilt 
and as soon as I hand sew on a dedication label, 
it can be handed in to the local coordinator. 
 I thoroughly enjoyed this quilt-along!
I also finished the free-motion quilting on the table runner
 and trimmed around the  border hexies 
to make a smoother edging so I will be able to bind this!
I used my small drunkards path template to draw a curve on each of the hexagons and then used scissors to cut all the way around.  I might use a large plate and make them circles instead of scallops.  I will decide another day! lol
And then I loaded another QOV quilt I made with a friend last year before you-know-what-hit.  It's time to get it done 
and delivered to a Veteran who will use it!

    Your quilting is so lovely. Free-motion quilting is at the top of my retirement to-do list.

  5. The runner turned out great! Hexies can be hard when you have to figure out those edges. That was a great idea. Dad and I scalloped one once and it was a lot of figuring but it looked great when it was finished.
