Devan's Scrappy Diamonds Is Finished

It's finally finished!

Although I was anxious to use my wonderful new frame, Devan's queen-size quilt was too big.  

Rather than trying to pin baste, I used "505" spray fabric adhesive.  It was fabulous and so easy to use.  This step was too hard on my old knees!


I put my walking foot on my sewing machine and the extenders in my dining room table.  I set up my machine and spent the next several evenings stitching in the ditch on the main body of the quilt.  (Karen, those goofy, knobby gloves are terrific!  Thank you!)  The edging was quilted in my first attempt at meandering.  That's not as easy as it looks, but I sure got lots of practice.


As you can see, Devan likes it!
