Ready To Quilt

I am enjoying this process,
but I'm finding that making a quilt is far from relaxing.
        Everything is so detailed and precise 
and if you make a mistake, 
it is going to be much harder to fix than knitting and crocheting 
where you just pull the thread and start over :)

Friday I worked on it from 9 A.M. until 8 P.M. with only a lunch break.
This was the hard part, but at the end of the day, 
I am ready to actually start  quilting.

I'm making it sound like I'm not having fun,
when the truth is I'm loving every minute:)

Here are my rows sewn together ready to join.

Here it is pinned, basted and ready to quilt.
that is what I'll be doing next week.

 I can't wait . . . but it's the weekend  
and 
we are planning on putting up our outside Christmas lights before we get snow :)

 I don't like turning them on until Thanksgiving weekend, 
but it's always nice having the work done. 

Here is the back of my quilt . . .
and with that I'll say good-bye until my next post.

Have a wonderful weekend :)
