Excitement +

I got THE phone call last Wednesday from Katrina to say that my Morrell was finished - how exciting! My sister and I picked it up yesterday and I could barely believe that it's my quilt (I'm still pinching myself) - I'm just thrilled with how it has been so beautifully quilted by Katrina. 
Here are just a few pics of some of the blocks...

Then we went off to Kaye's to purchase the binding, where she let us audtion many different options. I'm so lucky to have a shop literally around the corner where I can do this. Originally I was thinking of using a red stripe but then decided the quilt had enough red in it and thought a teal blue would look better

You'll have to wait until I've finished the binding before I show you the whole quilt.
I hope your sewing can also bring you some joy this weekend.
Cheers

    Congratulations Carole- exciting news! Nice to see she gave each block a different treatment - that was my instinct on this one too. Looking forward to seeing the finish.

    Oh my this turned out beautifully. It did not take that long to get it quilted either, and she did a wonderful job. Like the binding color--now I need to go find my pattern!!!
