LAGERTHA FINISHED

 I finished Lagertha and we took some photos.

At times I struggled with the Improv Quilting.  It's somewhat of a new technique for me and I had a hard time coming up with interesting patterns and variations.  Some days I was in the flow, and others were very frustrating.

But, I am pleased with the results and glad that I got it completed.

FINISHED THE QUILTING OF LAGERTHA

 I finally finished the quilting on Lagertha, the Playcation 2022 improv quilt.

I procrastinated for quite a while on this one.  I'm doing improv quilting for the first time and I'm not very confident.  So, I procrastinated.  But here it is!  It's done and off the machine.

It's 91" by 93" big.

At the last second I added my initials to the quilting.

I also trimmed it and sewed the binding onto the front and pressed the binding to the back.  I started on the hand sewing of the binding onto the back, but didn't get very far.

BINDING READY

 I made the very long continuous bias binding I'll need for the Lagertha quilt from Kona Everglade today.  

The quilt is 91" x 93"  that's a 368 inch perimeter.  

I haven't finished the quilting yet.  I didn't get a chance to work on it today.  But tomorrow looks promising.

QUILTED LADY

 I've been a bit worried about quilting Lagertha's hair.  I've been stalling.  But, I couldn't get much farther on the quilting until I got to it.  So, today was the day.

Here it is - it turned out okay, too.

I've been quilting the whole thing in an improv-style.  It's been terrifying and yet fun.

QUILTING LAGERTHA

 I've named the Quilters Playcation 2022 quilt Lagertha.   I started quilting on it today.  I only got about half of the first section done.
