Done(ish) For Christmas!

Remember the snow globe quilt wall hanging (here)?

I’ve been working fairly steadily on it since the 14th, when I pulled it out of the SAP (Sad And Forgotten Projects) pile.

Border choices…

So yesterday - on Christmas Eve eve - I decided that I could FINISH IT and HANG IT by Christmas!

It only needed the second set of borders…

Spray basting on the ping pong table

and trimming, sandwiching, basting,

Quilting curves with the walking foot

and quilting. No big deal, right?

Halfway quilted…

My back hates me but I did it! 

Squaring up with construction tools

Finished the quilting at 3 am, then talked hubby into helping me trim and square it up that afternoon (we had to break out the serious squaring up tools.) 

There’s no binding yet - did I mention my back is really, really mad? - but it’s hanging for Christmas! I’m so happy. Merry Christmas and happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate!
