Successful

If you recall, I won some fabric back at the beginning of the year.  Starting in April, I pieced together a quilt top and the project had officially begun!  I hemmed and hawed around debating whether to quilt the quilt or just tie it.  I'd never quilted an entire quilt before but I just felt like tying it wouldn't look that great.  I'd decided to keep this one for myself and I wanted to try quilting out.  My Mom used to quilt a TON and I'd never really gotten into it.  But, I am pretty much always feeling nostalgic so we decided to give the quilting a go.  Jon said he'd help me.  I worried and fretted about what quilting boards to buy and all the things I needed. Finally I got it all together and the quilting began!

 True to his word, Jon helped.  We put it up Saturday afternoon and took it down Tuesday night.  I did NOT expect it to go that quickly!  It was really fun, though.  I'm excited to find a reason to do it again!  As you can see, I still need to find some quilting stands :).  My dining room table got relocated to the living room, but even that wasn't too bad.

 Turns out, I didn't center the backing on very well, but I resewed the parts I saw and it'll still be great.  I'm so excited at how well it turned out!  If I didn't have to work tonight, I'd totally be getting a movie just so we could sit under it and watch :).  I am blessed that I have time to enjoy hobbies and that my husband tolerates them!
