Just Missed It

I should have spent less time procrastinating and gotten to work on quilting the Easy Street quilt sooner because now I won't make it before the end of the month. I definitely underestimated how long this quilting project would take.

Each row took about 60 minutes to stitch out and then about 20 more to forward the quilt and re-align each row. There are eight rows. I started before Thanksgiving but didn't get back to it until this morning. I thought I would have been able to finish today, but then I lost at backing chicken. I expected it would be close, but I would make it. Sadly, not.

Fixing this is not an end-of-day project, I'd end up staying up too late. I'll have to figure out how to finish this tomorrow morning.

Update: I figured out where I bought that backing fabric (Marshall Dry Goods) and they were almost out, so I just ordered another piece. I guess it will be more like a week before I get this finished because I have to wait for it to arrive and then pre-wash it before I can continue on this project.
