This Antique Tiles quilt was my One Monthly Goal for May. The reason I finished it so early this month is because it was also my OMG for April!
Yesterday was my quilt group day. After I got home in the afternoon, I was in such a roll that I finished quilting the borders and got them all on before bedtime. It was a long day of sewing and I must have been a little brain dead when I was sewing on the last border. I thought I was holding the quilt up enough to prevent drag, but it just wasn't sewing right. I checked and the thread wasn't hung up, the quilt wasn't hung on anything on the machine, but the quilt was definitely tight against the edge of my sewing table. I looked over the edge, and there was Buddy T. Cat sitting on the edge that was on the floor. I think he might have claimed this quilt.
This morning I cut the binding strips and finally finished the binding on the Antique Tile quilt this afternoon. This was supposed to be my April UFO finish, but it became my May UFO, now finished!
It's really windy here on the farm today, so I talked Hubby into taking me into town where the buildings could block some of the breeze. I also talked him into holding the quilt for a photo. The last time I posted, I thought I might make another yellow plaid border, but it didn't look good, so I left the green at four inches and used the magic binding because it is wider. Hubby likes the back better than the front. That's the beauty of QAYG.
If you are checking in to see what post number this is, it is number 999! Tomorrow is the giveaway!
