First project finished!

[zoethe]

I finally finished the first project of my renewed quilting career, an Amish-inspired wallhanging that I began almost 18 years ago when living in Fairbanks. I made the top then and quilted the middle portion of it, then could not find a border pattern I liked. Then I got away from quilting for a long time. When I picked it up again, finishing this piece seemed like a good place to start, and in a moment of serendipity I happened across the perfect border pattern in a local quiltshop. This morning I finished the binding. Here's a picture of the whole quilt and a bit of detail on the border. (Crossposted to my journal and a couple communities)

It really does not take much macho, just a walking foot and patience. I have machine quilted about 90 quilts on a machine that was a bottom-of-the-line, standard Singer model. Take heart!
