This quilt was a PIGS... or actually a PIT (project in tote) and wanted to finish it this weekend. So, the plan was: get the binding sewn to the quilt...
...get settled on the sofa to sew and watch Cranford (the entire series on DVD)...
...and see how much of the binding I could sew down before I nodded off.
Surprised myself and got it all done! I need to finish drawing the decoration on the label (didn't want to do the lower corner b/c I wanted to make sure I had enough room once the binding was sewn down)... then run it thru the washer and dryer. My first finish of this year and one Christmas present completed!

Now that the quilt label is finished, thought you'd like to see what it looks like..
Awesome!
