Dry Spell

I took the plunge today and stitched together the backing for the quilt--and even then, the 20 minutes took a toll. I didn't dare do more since I had choir practice later. This is why God invented extra-wide backing fabric LOL.

In the next few days, we'll pin the quilt. We meaning me & GoalieMan. And there's a good chance the majority of it will be pinned by my husband. Hopefully the neurologist will figure out how to fix me so that I can quilt at a faster pace than say, a quilt a year @@. As it is, I won't touch the quilting on it until after we're back from our trip. The last time I spent any decent time on the quilt, I was in severe pain for three days, took me well over a week to feel "better".

So, what is left to do:
laying out quilt to be pinned, with backing, batting and quilt top;
pinning quilt;
machine quilting (I'm keeping it simple so it shouldn't take too long, maybe a couple of days);
machine stitching one edge of the binding;
hand stitching the other edge of the binding;
printing out the quilt label;
stitching label on.
