my Friday finish.

Yay!  I finally finished my seeing stars quilt.  Oh my.  I was beginning to think I never would.  For the strangest reason, it just somehow kept getting pushed to the back burner.
I am so happy with how it turned out.
The hand quilting was finished a few days ago and the binding was finished yesterday.  
I don't believe I have done all my chores faster than I did on Thursday, knowing that as soon as they were done, I could work on the binding, then wash and dry.
   
I just love all the crinkly goodness when you take a quilt out of the drier.  Don't you? It was actually still warm when I took these photos.
Thank you Allison for a great tutorial.  It was so much fun! 
Take a look at Allison's new patterns!  I NEED spin cycle!  :o)  It went on my birthday wish list just as soon as I saw it.

Have a wonderful weekend.  xoxo
