Wedding Quilt the final chapter

It is done HURRAH! Not only done but in the mail with weeks to spare. Was I completely satisfied with the final results, no, I rarely am. It seems that no matter how carefully I pin seams for sewing, vertical elements somehow don’t match up somewhere. I have come to accept this as a fact of my quilting life, so I no longer lose sleep, or get grey hairs over it. Check back for picture of the quilt process later once we get them printed, sorted, and saved.
If I had enough foresight I would have pieced the top as one whole unit with under sashing, but this was a SUMMER quilt project. I wasn’t supposed to spend so many evenings wrapped up under a quilt while reading or watching tv.
On the small crafts front - I have eight Halloween cards partially finished. Will buy a baby’s first Halloween one for the newly arrived granddaughter. Then it is on to the start of Christmas cards. The next quilt project is pin basted, ready to quilt once the weather cools off - pushing 90 in Vermont in the first week of September, where was that in August? This one is a Wizard of OZ quilt for our daughter and her man friend, (well he’s not a boy)! More about the Wiz later.
