I have been on a roll! Yesterday, I finished the swirly feather border on the Tree of Life Quilt. I ran out of thread twice. After going through a 600m spool of Superior Threads, I went to my LQS to get more. They were out of the color I needed (figures). The owner looked through her personal stash of thread and had a portion of a spool of the right color and gave that to me. I was thinking I was good to go, but I ran out again! The border is really thready. I decided not to try and get another replacement so I found a color close enough in my own stash and finished it. Afterwards, I put on the binding. I have one inner border to finish and as soon as that is complete (inspiration has not hit yet) I will post tons of pics!!!
As if binding and quilting weren't enough, I also ironed and folded my prairie points. The motivation was still there, and at 9pm last night I began to assemble the I Spy a Crumb Patch borders. It turned out great!
Now on to assembling a quilt back. I found some alphabet fabric in my I-Spy stash so I am going to try and mix that with some colorful solids and see how it goes from there!
Your quilt is absolutely wonderful.I love it.Well done!!
