It's done, borders and everything. It's huge 116 x 103.
The top is done, that is. Tomorrow I start piecing the back. Next week after payday I plan to spend a day basting quilts to ready them for quilting and it will be first. This is the biggest quilt that I have made for a long time and I probably will have to spend about 3 weeks quilting it. It's not going to turn into a UFO. Neither is the half square triangle top I finished a couple of weeks ago. By the time I get batting the latest Drunkard's Path top will be done so that one will have to be basted and quilted. So there will be 3 new ones that I will baste, and if I can baste as many as I did last time, there will be 3 UFOs that will be basted. I don't know though, all of the tops ready to be quilted are large, I might not have enough pins. I have been missing the quilting this month, it will be fun to be doing it again. I intend to write the pattern for the Log Cabin Heart, something I have never done before and I don't know how long it will take. The next one I make I don't want to have to redraw, replan and try to decipher ten year old working notes.

But for now, I can just lean back and relax in the glow of a finished project.
