Getting too dark to get a decent photo, but I couldn’t wait until morning to take it in better light 🙂
Of course, there’s still a lot of work still to do – this is just the quilt top, I’ve still got to do the actual quilting part – but that’s going to wait for a while. I want to practice my free-motion quilting a lot more before I tackle something this huge.
