Update update ...

A little progress report on this "back to Winter" blustery Saturday.

The Innocent Crush Quilt has been basted and rapid quilting progress was made.  There was lots of quilt wrangling and a great workout for the arms and shoulders, otherwise all went rather smoothly.


As the quilt back was significantly larger than the quilt top (and thought it would be a shame to have to trim it all off after quilting),  I stitched a border along the top edge of the quilt. To add a little interest to this border I have started hand-stitching a little detail:




The minimal amount hand stitching is limited to just the border, compliments the colors of the quilt, and doesn't detract from the overall design.  I just wish I could enjoy the hand-stitching a little more.

Have a great weekend!
