9 Patch finished

I fished up the 9 patch binding today and have it fresh out of the dryer.  Remember how much I didn’t want to quilt this baby?  Well my sweet blogging friend Christina ( The Sometimes Crafter) saved my life and did it for me on her long arm.  She did such a good job, she quilted it in a loopy pattern that fits the retro 9 patch perfectly.  I told her thank you but I still feel like I should go clean her toilets and empty her dishwasher.  I’ll let you know if she ever decides to start a little quilting business….I’ll be her best customer for sure.     My brother is my new designated quilt holder-upper.  Unfortunately it takes double the time to get a good picture because half of them look like the picture below.   I threatened him with putting his picture on the blog, and he didn’t believe me, and so I did. This quilt looks fantabulous across the bottom of my bed.  I give it a week before there are unidentified stains scattered here and there, but that just gives it more character right?   Hope you all have a great weekend, our new Goodwill store just opened so I will be barging my way through the store throwing as much used crap in my cart as possible just to join in the frenzy.
