Vintage Summertime

I worked very hard this weekend to get Vintage Summertime done and I'm happy to say, that after a year, it is DONE!  Well, the top is pieced.  Needs to be quilted yet.  I have to decide on what I'm going to do for a backing and binding.

It's super long.  A tad too long for my bed but I love it anyway.  I have some ideas on what I'm going to do with my bed since it's long in length but short for width.  I found a very soft and fluffy cotton blanket at Target in their Shabby Chic area of bedding that I think would be perfect under the quilt to help cover the mattress.

I have a lot of threads on the underside to clip and order my backing.  THEN I can send it off for quilting.  Super excited!
turn your head.  I hate when blogger turns the pics

Next on my list... jelly roll sampler.  Time to get those blocks sashed and pieced into a top. 

I'm on a roll!

Enjoy your day!
Jen

    How super pretty! It is ok for it to be too long. Just means you have more to pull up before your feet get cold.
