Another record for me...

Although I hoped to post a different record finish here, this weekend has been incredibly busy and I didn't quite make it.  If I had finished hand sewing the binding down on Grace by tonight, it would have been exactly 2 weeks from start to finish on this quilt.  But no biggie, I still have 5 days before it really needs to be done, so I'll cut myself some slack.

However, I did set a different record for me.  I started quilting Grace at 9 PM on Thursday night and finished quilting less than 24 hours later.  That's a 1-day turn around for a quilt that's 68" square.  I'm just amazed that I got it done that quickly!

I felt a little rough the following day, but am still so excited to have this done!  I know there are those of you out there who regularly accomplish such things, but I really didn't think my neck would hold out that long.  Funny enough, my neck wasn't the issue.  It's my knees that were giving me fits.  I was concentrating so hard, I kept locking them up!  Ha! Ha!

I'll continue to work on the binding, but I'm almost ready to call this one done!

Until later...
