Quilt Progress

I'm really thrilled with the progress on my first quilt. After completing the top and bottom, I brought it to the local quilt shop to be quilted. I'm really pleased with the job they did on their long arm quilting machine. The size of the quilting pattern seems to be a great match for the fabric patterns.

Attaching the binding has been very labor intensive. I sewed the front of the binding with my machine. Now, I'm in the process of hand-sewing the binding to the back. Although this part is taking a long time, I love the portability of the hand sewing. I can snuggle under the quilt in any room in the house.I'm really excited to finish and show you the finished product.
