Getting on with the quilting.

Yesterday I set up my machine with the intention of completing the quilting on the Churn dash quilt. I had already completed about half of the quilting and I planned to finish it but I found the whole experience rather tiring and so I I left myself 6 blocks to quilt today. I like this little quilt, the churn dash blocks are cute and having found them lurking in my sewing cupboard waiting to be sewn together, this is a quick win. This afternoon I completed the quilting on the last six blocks and I was able to trim back the backing fabric and the wadding.  At this point I realised I hadn't considered what to use as a binding so first I had to measure the quilt to work out how much fabric I needed for the binding. Then I played hunt the fabric. Nothing appropriate came to hand but I'm sure I'll find something in my stash.


Yesterday evening I did a little more work on the table cloth. 


This evening I'm going to sit and watch something on TV. I may do some knitting but I'm not totally sure. I've felt tired all day. I suppose I could go to bed early but then I'll just wake up early. 

On a totally different topic, is anyone else having a major problem with Blogger? The comments used to go to my email account but recently they haven't. I discovered some went to the email I purely use for my Microsoft account. I put moderation on but that didn't work. All advice will be very gratefully received. 

Hopefully tomorrow I'll be more awake and ready to get the quilt finished. 

Take care

Lyndsey

    The churn dash quilt looks great, as does the embroidery which is exquisite. Blogger has been a pain for me too, especially since I had to update to Windows 11 because of severe storms last year. Actually that is why my blogging has been a bit haphazard of late. Thinking I'm getting to old for all these changes. Take care & hugs from down under.

    so good to have the quilting completed on your colourful Churn Dash quilt. I'm sure you'll find the right fabric for the binding.
    Your embroidery on the table is progressing beautifully.
