the quilt is almost finished!

​

I binded the whole quilt already but i found some hand stitches that had loose thread so i have to redo them.

​the most daunting part aside from sewing the batting for me was attaching the binding. 

Or rather sewing the binding i already attached around the quilt. I thought it made it look like a picture frame but i ended up totally scrapping the picture frame idea And just went with the regular binding that most quilts have.

At this point I realized I had to cut almost all of the excess batting and back fabric off so i could double fold the “frame” and fold it over the edge of the quilt where i would sew it at the back using a blind stitch.

I’m just at the first corner now. Thought I’d smoke a joint first because I wasn’t feeling that motivated. I think it’s just threading the needle over and over again. I’ll try again with the self threading needle but it keeps catching on the batting. So this is my crafty bit for the day. 

I hope to finish the whole quilts binding today. I’m being firm with my “today”. It’s so easy and I should be much faster by now but I’m just as slow as I’ve always been hand sewing………
