happy dance!

I am so excited to have finished my queen size scrappy trip around the world quilt top!  But, boy was this a stinker to photograph.  I looked like a monkey climbing a ladder and dangling in the sunniest spot that I could find.  ha ha ha.

I truly enjoyed every single step in creating this quilt!  It is actually a little sad to see it come to an end!  However, that is ok, because once it is quilted, it will cover our spare bed and will keep our loved ones who come to visit, snuggly warm.

I have been hording six yards of Lori Holt's Sew Cherry backing fabric for just this.  Isn't it so cute?!  It makes me smile!  And since the quilt measures 97" x 97", I will end up sewing a band through the center to make it fit.  Still debating on what that will be.  wink.
