Finally, I made it to the end.. Though Lynne has finished her QAL way back in September, I am glad I made it to the final. Trace back the W.I.P post of this quilt here.
I guess I should stock up more backing fabrics. That was the main reason for it taking a bit of a little more time. I finally decided that I would make the backing with whatever I have - patch it up - besides, I have learnt so much from Elizabeth on her free Craftsy lesson here on piecing quilt backing, I thought I should give it a try.
Well.. the only problem was, I don't have a big design wall.. so I work my way through the carpet floor of my living room (which I can only do at night when my little one is already asleep) . The size of the quilt was the maximum that my apartment floor could manage. : p
I quilt it simple - echoing double line of the flags. The biggest struggle was turning the quilt around at each point. The wrestle with the quilt was a great exercise. LOL
Finally after several evening, I was done quilting it... (below is the image of my basting pins removed from the quilt)
It was time to bind it. I used DS fabrics for Spotlight / Joann. It is then I realised, I only have one ruler. And its short.. I think its time to get one long one...
I bind using the tutorial by Rita here. I love this method.
