The Standing Strong quilt top is complete ! Although this isn’t exactly the same as the picture, I’m very pleased. I substituted some fabric for the border and switched the border fabric around. This is the biggest quilt I’ve created: 71” long x 56” wide. I sure don’t want to try to quilt this on my home machine, so. . .

the quilt and its backing will go off to the longarm quilter, Amy, who will add the batting, quilt the sandwich together and apply the binding. This is a vile green bag (she returned one of my earlier quilts in this bag), but you can see the package I’ve put together for her. She’ll return the quilt and any leftover fabric in this same bag.

This is the third month of the Cotton Cuts Mystery Quilt and I’ve finished Clue #3. I’m in love with the fabric, but have no clue how this will come together — we’ll have to wait for the reveal in the 10th month. . .
