Nirvana is done!!!

Phew! It has taken a while, but Nine Patch Nirvana is done! Alice and I started this bom back in 2009. I finished the top last year sometime but wanted it quilted by Nora on the long arm... instead I got to practice on it myself :) You've heard of dog eared quilts? Well, this one was elephant eared... I really don't know how it happened, but lesson learned, need to be more careful with my borders..

Anyway, I was so keen to finish and use it that I was lazy and did the binding completely by machine:



Tiana supervised... or was she watching the birds?


Called Matt to hold the quilt up for the final photo:


It's a big quilt... come on Matt, hold it up...

Up Matt, Up!!



Hmmmm..... better call in big brother to help....


That's better... :) I'll have to crop it...


Yay! All done and I put it into use right away. Cameron was very pleased because now I don't need to pinch his all the time :)

What would we do without quilt holder-up-ers? :)

Congratulations on finishing your quilt! I always sew my bindings on by machine, so I don't think you're lazy at all! :0)
