TRIMMED

 I trimmed the excess from the Rhythm in Blues quilt and put it up on the design wall to decide on how to finish it - binding, facing or what?

I decided it looked just fine without a border or more color on the outside, so I'm going with facing. 

I cut up the excess backing into 2-1/2" strips, pressed them in half and pinned to the front, then I  sewed them down and pressed to the the back.  Now, I just need to hand sew it all down on the back.  

It was a beautiful day, so Darrell and I went to Alki and picked up lunch to go from Cactus.  We took it to the beach where we sat at a picnic table and watched the world go by.  It was wonderful.

We sat in the sunshine and watched the darkening clouds over Seattle.
