I fnished another quilt (46" x 72")!! It took the better part of a full day but it is done!! Two more to go before I can move on to a new project. I used a soft green for the backing as well as the binding for this one and added a flannel batting. I did have to redo a few things along the way but eventually the binding went together very well and I am very pleased with how it worked out. I used solid strips in between the pieces strips which worked really well when I was piecing the top. Much less streching than if the strips are all pieced. The large slow stitched leaves really stand out again the blue background. I am really enjoying making quilts that incorporate my slow stitching. It makes very unique quilts with a personal touch. It was nice to have coordinating fabric scraps to put together for this top. I have committed to finishing the quilt tops I have finished before starting a new project. I am still slow stitching cat squares. I have a LOT of them and I just recently trimmed black squares for all of them and stitched cats down which now leaves only the slow stitching to finish them. I expect there will be a few quilts that will incorporate the cats in various manners. Therese
