WiP Wednesday: the one with Volume

Here is a true story. Four days ago I had given up on getting this quilt top done. If you are even a bit of a regular here, you will know that I have been struggling with this project since March! March People!


But on Saturday at the Maritime Modern Quilt Guild Sew In, after seven hours of sewing on another project, I went home, had some dinner, unpacked my Sewing Circle Tote and hit the machine again, until Midnight. I was officially on a mission.


More sewing on Sunday, Monday night and last night and this top is done! And I am completely smitten. When you have something you really like on your design wall do you sneak into the room for peeks? I do. A lot. I will probably peek in again tonight before I go to bed. Just to make sure it is still there. And still fabulous.


So of course, this baby is still not done, but after all of these seams, quilting and binding seem like icing on the cake.        


The good news is, is that this was my A Lovely Year of Finishes Goal for August. I cannot believe that I did it! Of course my goal for September will be to finish it all!

Going off to link up with A Lovely Year of  Finishes and WiP Wednesday, because it's Wednesday!
