What did I achieve today?  Well, let's see.  I trimmed the pastel quilt we worked on on Wednesday.

 It is not a great photo but you can see the striped binding at least.  And here you can see the pretty floral backing which I hadn't shown you before.

Next I made the binding and rod pocket for my Christmas quilt and got them sewn on.  I did the hand sewing tonight while watching TV.   It was a bit of a struggle because my hand was really sore but I really wanted to get it done.  There is just one problem with this quilt.  I am not sure where I can hang in at Christmas time.  I am not sure that I have a wall big enough for it and I don't want to lie it on a sofa etc.  I will have to give it some thought!

 And the back

 And a close up of the backing so you can see what it is like - one of my favourite Christmas fabrics that I have had for ages and am glad to have finally found a use for.

 After finishing the binding a spent an hour or so on my Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilt.  Yes, the colour is white but I teamed it with lots of random scrap squares and got this and tonight I added some squares of the bright blue to some of the four patches.  I have a companion print to the blue which will be the border so I am pick out all the colours to cut some more squares to go with the four patch blocks.  I think there will be some gold in there too somewhere.

 The end result will be something like this and then I will add borders.  I need to do some cutting tomorrow when the light is better, and when I am not so tired.

Now before I go -

You have to see this gorgeous quilt over here.  It is called "Bird of Paradise" and the detail is amazing!

Till next time......happy stitching!
