In the above photo, I’m sewing the last few inches of binding onto my 4th of July Picnic quilt. I completed the top in the middle of July 2012. It’s going to feel so good to have this finished! And then I’ll only have a couple more projects that were started in 2012 and have been traveling from place to…
I took the leftover fabrics from my 4th of July Picnic Quilt, cut them into squares and rectangles and started sewing them together.
