Well I did finish in time! I got this quilt machine quilted in the ditch and the binding on before we traveled for Thanksgiving on Thursday. I wasn't 100% happy with the binding. I did the entire binding by machine, and it wasn't the prettiest binding I've made. I've only done that type of binding on small projects and they turned out fine, but this was a little tougher to wrangle through the machine. But it's done now and I never would have had time to stitch it on by hand. The last stitches were stitched on Wednesday night while the Thanksgiving deserts were baking. So late that I didn't have time to take a picture. However, I do have one of the top after I had put the last borders on earlier this year. This was a free pattern on Craftsy when I found it a while back, but it appears that it is now for sale. You can find it here. This quilt is being donated to a convalescent home and will make someone very happy this Christmas.
