There were many peacocks roaming free at Beacon Hill Park today and this one strolled right up to me and paused, almost as if he expected me to take his photo - smart bird :) I've signed my quilt and sewed on the last two strips of facing. Hopefully I'll get some hand stitching in later tonight.
This photo is a bit blurred, but it shows a bit of one faced edge of 'Expansion or Contraction?'. After re-squaring my quilt on the dining room table, I cut strips for facing it and sewed the long sides on, as well as hand stitched them down. The velvet is thick and takes more effort to steam in place and I had to resew one area where the facing slipped against it. I also made a sleeve ready to sew on. Almost there, now!
