Go-Es-Car-Go...a finish!

This quilt top has been together for over a month now....

So I decided to bite the bullet and get quilting.

 

Basting didn’t take long,

 

but the quilting certainly did!

 

If I ever consider quilting swirls again,

 

I need someone to take my sewing machine away until 

I have come to my senses.

 

I used almost an entire spool of Aurifil thread,

 

and I lost count of how many bobbins I wound!

 

I wonder whether the swirls contributed to the bouts of 

vertigo I experienced during this time! 

To say I am glad it is finished is an understatement!

It finishes at about 58” square, and my second quilt for 

2022.

I finished it with black and white stripe binding.

I couldn't resist taking this photo.....

snails do 'go slow' after all!

In retrospect, that would have made a good name for this quilt!

Thankfully the rain stopped and we had a chance to get 

some decent photos.....

because this was the sky as we went for a walk earlier 

in the day!

 

Lifetime Quilt #143

Happy sewing!
