True to form, my pics are behind my work

So I've been working some more on the quilt. Here are the latest pictures with the borders in tact & the backing:



(Yeah that's my foot. I'm standing on a chair to take the pictures.)




So as I mentioned, I've actually done some more work on it since I took these shots. I have actually cut the batting, and pinned it all together. I also got 2 of the ditches stitched one night last week when I was waiting up for my niece to come in from visiting her boyfriend.

I am hoping to have all of the horizontal ditches stitched before I have to leave for Texas. There are 7 of them, so I'm not overly optimistic that I will actually meet that goal, especially not now that Dallan has returned from his 3 week travels. We'll see. I have discovered, though, that making my sewing maching stitch sideways is not as difficult as I thought it would be. There are some very, shall we say, "creative" looking lines happening on this quilt, but I'm hopeful that when it's all done, all the wonkiness will simply add to its character.
