I did it!!! sort of

I stayed up and worked on my scallop quilt.


 I was hoping to finish sewing the binding, BUT I didn't.
Hand sewing the binding was taking to long and at 3:05 am I decided to call it quits.  I wanted this to be a light summer  quilt, so I didn't line it with any batting.  I just put a white backing on it.
While sewing the binding, it was quite time consuming trying to only grab the one piece of fabric with the needle, so the thread didn't show on the front.


I like how it is turning out-- I like the short strips of the different colored polka dot fabric in the binding.


This was my own design and to read more about it please scroll down to my July 2009 post about it.  Seems like it is about time I finish it doesn't it???
