First finished top

The only downside to working from home is that the work is always there, close by, and there’s no ‘after-hours’ or even weekends.

Yes, it needs to be properly pressed, but otherwise it’s done. Today I bought some backing fabric, and tomorrow afternoon or Wednesday I’ll lay out the backing and wadding and aim to pin the quilt. Then there’ll be the quilting… which may take me a while!
