Wait…..
She lays it out on the floor to show off to daughter and arghhhhh wavy edges!!!!
Takes it to quilting friends to look for a no fuss cure, but alas, the news was dim. Binding must come off, edges must be eased in a little etc. etc. etc.
So, binding is back on apart from about 6 inches right at the end when finicky Pfaff starts to loop again on the back, for no particular reason. Grrrrrr. Right! Turn finicky Pfaff off, oil it up, and take a break from said machine before serious damage is done to said machine.
Later……….
All done, no more waves and a very happy quilter.
No fabric was purchased for this quilt. Every leaf is different.
All hand quilted.

Well, you know I'm a 'stash girl' myself, so I have nothing I can say except 'spectacular'!! I applaud you for this beautiful quilt, and I'm sure it will be a hit with viewers come Carnival time. Great pics of the darling child with grand dad.
Frustrating when you think you're finished...........looks lovely though, and how wonderful it's a stash quilt and hand-quilted, too!!
Beautiful quilt! Glad you could fix the edge.
It was worth the effort of re-doing the binding - it looks great! Looking forward to the Quilt Show - comming down on Monday.
A beautiful quilt! Well done, and it is so nice to see hand quilting :) I am glad that you are pleased with your result in the end, but what are we doing to ourselves, why does everything has to be so perfect? :)I know, shows... Good luck, I am sure your quilt will do well!
your quilt is beautiful.
Hello Di, your quilt looks fantastic and I am sure it will be greatly admired at the show. I am really looking forward to seeing pics of the exhibition. Your grand daughter is a really sweetie and I am sure grand daddy enjoyed her help. Hugs Judy
