FINALLY the quilt is finished

I finally found some time this weekend and sat up late last night and hand sewed all the binding onto the quilt. Pheww what a learning experience this has been – but I have enjoyed it and am quite proud of my first quilt mistakes and all LOL……. I stippled it all over as well which took me a lot of time as I learnt as I went, cant wait to wash it now and get it all soft and ready to use for the winter to cuddle under.

I had a heck of a time getting these pictures so excuse the rough piccies, my clothes line isn't high enough so had to peg it over a couple of lines and its too dark inside to take any of it, but anyways you get the idea.

Its not wavy at all in the border and binding just the way its hanging on the line – promise LOL
