ANOTHER FINISH

 I got the Puzzle Box quilt binding on today.  It's done, too.  It is a free pattern from ChristaQuilts.

My buddies on BP suggested a teal blue binding.  But, I thought that since there are so many different print fabrics in the quilt, I should use a print for the binding as well.  I found something in my stash.

I spent the morning putting more perennials in the front garden and trying to remove some of the ground cover.  Darrell moved the stepping stones out, so now there is a path to the bird bath.

All the dogs and cats were out in the front yard with me, but none of them helped.

What is it with cats and boxes?  

QUILTING PUZZLE BOX

 I downloaded a quilting pattern called 'Puzzle' this morning and made a label for the Puzzle Box quilt.  I went upstairs and inked the label.  Then I loaded the backing for it and loaded up the Puzzle Box quilt.  I'm quilting it with the new pattern which resembles  jigsaw puzzle pieces.  It's quilting very slowly however.

So, while Erik was slowly quilting away, I made the bias binding and sewed it onto the back of XXIII.

I got two passes done before it was time to go in.

After I sewed the binding onto the back, I folded the corners and clamped them down.  They'll be more willing to comply tomorrow when I sew the binding to the front.
