I finished the quilt top today! This was a big accomplishment for me, since I don't consider myself to be a great piecer. To complicate matter even further, I decided this afternoon to make a pieced border. What was I thinking?! All those little squares, and if the seam allowances were off just a bit, it wouldn't have fit. But much to my surprise, it fit PERFECTLY! I still can't believe it.
This will be a fun one to quilt, with all the large white areas. If I have time, I'll baste it over the weekend. The quilting won't be started until next week, though.
This quilt pattern is a "Quilt in a Day" pattern. It took me all week, working almost all day every day! And this is just a lap sized quilt. If someone can really make it in a day, they deserve a medal.

Congratulations. Isn't "finishing" a good feeling? Your quilt top is beautiful. Great fabrics, great colors, great design. Can't wait to see this quilt after it is quilted.
Thanks for sharing.
