For my Upstairs/Downstairs - Christmas Red -
Has been quilted - YAY!! -
I took this photo before I started quilting it -
But - trust me - it's done -
I had some excess batting -
So I overcompensated for that part -
And I had enough backing -
So that wasn't a problem -
But I had so much backing left -
That I wondered how close I got to the seam on the insert panel -
About 3 inches -
About as close as it could be without it being too close to the edge of the quilt -
And I probably could have left out one of the insert panels -
But all three panels sewn together measures 22" finished -
And the excess backing measures 20" before the zipper -
So I couldn't have left it out entirely -
Now I have some tidying up to do -
I need to remove the zippers from the backing -
And trim both quilts -
And make some binding -
And think about how I want to quilt the next ones - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

It is nice that you got both of them quilted. Once you get them trimmed I would like to see the backs of them.
Do you have a plan for that leftover backing?
Good for you!! Sticking with it is what counts. I need to follow your model and get some quilted.
Too much is WAAAAAY better than too little, trust me! I'm excited for another finish for you. I had a finish today, too, but it was 13 pillowcases. On to the next project for both of us!
