Out-the-door

In my quest to get my tops finished, I've been forced to bite the bullet and pay someone else to machine quilt some of my quilts.  I must say that it is hard for me to have another person do my quilting for me.  Call me silly, but it is pride to say that I did a whole quilt.  Now, I can only claim partial work.  Still, reality is yelling at me to have those tops done and I have to listen to reality.  I'm not getting any younger and my fingers, hands, arms and shoulders are telling me they hurt when I quilt.

This beauty is the first one to go.  It was a struggle to get it out the door.  Why, you ask?  It was the backing.  It didn't want to co-operate with me at all.  Like, it was telling me that it wanted me to do the quilting.  Nope, I can't do the machine quilting.  Just too hard.  In the end, it got a funky backing.  Actually, I've always wanted to do a funky backing and this was the opportunity to do it.  So, the backing got made and the backing and top got put into a bag and out-the-door they went.  I told the lady there was no hurry.  So, you will see it sometime this year.

So, that is the first one to go.  Which one will go next?

Have a great day!
