Sleeves on, binding on: guess there’s nothing left to do but to queue up the next audio book and get to work.
After some consideration, I went with the same fabric I’d used for the binding as the sleeve. First off, it had some weird hunks already cut out of it and there wasn’t all that much left. I was able to cut what I needed out of the part with the big slant which made me feel virtuous. I needed to add just a couple inches to each sleeve and was able to get the added bits out of the even weirder shaped pieces. Then, just to allow myself an even more virtuous, **insert term of choice here** moment, I added the extra bits on with flat-felled french seams and basted them down to the top and bottom of the quilt. Term? Somewhere between pompous/narcissistic and calm/confident in skills, LOL.
Anyway, it’s lying on the table ready to start sewing. Guess I better do up the label while I’m at the computer. Then it will be a quick break to get that attached midway through the bottom sleeve sewing.
Time for some dinner now.
PS this is post five hundred and ninety-nine. I’ll try to think of something reasonably exciting for six hundred.
