I'm just a little bit of a procrastinator...like, two years worth. In December 2008 I posted pictures of this quilt just after it had been quilted. Today I finished binding it....on the sewing machine. It is a huge (king-sized) quilt and there was no way I could hand-sew the binding on...no way...even though I thought that's what I would do. I gave up, gave in, whatever, and machine bound it. I'm good with that.

Mary Englebret Quilt-Completed!
Finally! I've been working on this quilt FOREVER (or so it seems.) I tried to quilt it myself--hated it! I never liked one portion of it that didn't quite meet right, so I took all the self-quilting stitches out and picked out the part I never liked. After resewing it together so I liked it and felt satisfied with how it looked, I took it in to Quilted Works to be quilted. Loved the final product! It took me another month or so to add the binding and now it is done. Yay!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyjQjDoyIekTtxxxKOY7lZNNtHCbLLzgqejz96vP4J4ppMmNrdAsrxc4IyrjPY2nm8eK8vPa_T_UEWI8S2TM9HySPPdokjVaxCHaZn1iEQOTqVfM-RAfZ4J-iUzBVGYOUjuq-O8ObBUpc/s640/Mary+Englebret2.JPG)
Then....I hung it on my new quilt rack and loved it even more.
