The Finished Quilt Top


The quilt top is finished, with all 20 blocks and the white sashing sewn together. I've decided to name this quilt "Past and Present" because it's made of both vintage and new fabrics.

This is the largest sewing project I've worked on (it measures 65" x 80" or 1,65m x 2,03m), so it's been satisfying to watch it come together. I think the next steps -- quilting and binding -- will be challenging (maybe I should have made a baby quilt first as practice :), but I hope to learn a lot in the process.

Hope you have a wonderful week.
