Finished! the Big Bed Quilt-Along

Congratulations to everyone who has stitched away on their big bed projects this spring!  We have planned, paced ourselves and plodded along. And, with any luck, we have arrived at a significant goal. Hurrah!

This weekend I put the border on my Facing East quilt top.  Oh my gosh... it's actually done!  I can hardly believe it!

Now the question is how to quilt it!  Hmm....

I know I wouldn't have gotten here yet if it wasn't for this event. So thank YOU for playing along.  Having a place to set public goals makes a big difference!  And, of course, your encouragement does too.  I hope those of you who were able to participate in the Big Bed Quilt-Along also had a good experience!

Let's Celebrate!

If you have met your Big Bed Quilt-Along goal, it's time to celebrate!  Please add a photo of your project either here in the link party below OR on Instagram with hashtag #BigBedQAL.  I'll draw random winners from among those who post photos now through noon (eastern time) on Thursday.
