The Quilt

I'm more than a little embarrassed that it's taken me this long to take a freaking picture of this quilt. I started it BEFORE Ben and I got married (more than 2 years ago), finally finished the borders and had it quilted about a year ago. . . and then it sat. It was waiting for binding. The sides had been trimmed, the binding pieces had even been cut. . . but it sat. it's a HUGE king sized quilt. I knew the hand work for the binding was going to take me forever. And it did. . . But not as long as I thought it would, really.

It's been on our bed for about a month, and this was the first time our room had been cleaned and the bed was made to take pictures. . . (thank heaven Ben decided the mess in our room was just past the point of decency. I may never have gotten to it on my own)

And here is the finished product:

Closer up

I'm not even 100% in love with it any more, to be honest. The batik thing is probably just over. . . and in reality, I'd like something a little less busy. . . BUT, I am proud of myself for doing a quilt with circles (or partial circles). It was a fun little challenge for me. And it will do for now. I spent enough time and money on it. . .
