One step closer

Today I finished the quilting on the I Spy Quilt I am making...yay!!!! Next step to trim and bind...I think I will fold the backing to the front and have a nice soft cuddly binding.
I have had a go at free motion quilting, or free range quilting as it is known here!

I am happy the quilt is soft and cuddly

some of the quilting is a bit "free range" I found it hard moving the quilt around as it was so heavy, some stitches are a little big but over all it isn't too bad.
I had a visitor in side the pantry this morning - I opened the door to get some cereal and this was what I was looking at!!!! It looked at me and I looked at it and eventually it moved over to the front of the door, so I slammed the door shut and it scuttled up the wall and now is sitting looking at me from the ceiling above the kettle! Not happy!!!

This evening I managed to get some I Spy Blocks finished for Sharon who is kindly making an I Spy Quilt for a little boy in hospital. He has a face book page Blake's Million Smiles - sadly he has been in hospital for 24+ weeks now.  Last I read his Dad was very sick with the flu as well.  I am sure Sharon will do a beautiful job and the quilt will be amazing!
