As a finish-it-up Friday project I pulled out the colour wheel I pieced when we were in France. I thought it was ready for quilting but realized I needed to do some appliqué stitching on it first. Once that was done I took it downstairs to the kitchen island to sandwich and pin. Some (actually most) people suggest I use too many pins but I can’t seem to stop myself!

From the class instruction I knew that I was going to do some straight lines. My batting calls for quilting every four inches so I had to do some extra lines but they went very quickly. I amazed myself by getting the sleeve and the binding stitched on before running out of energy.

All that is left now is the circle in the centre (we haven’t agreed yet on a colour), a label and hand stitching the binding (I’ll add it to my ever growing pile). Hopefully everything will get done this weekend.

I can hardly believe I have an actual (almost) finish!
