Assembly almost complete

I didn't have as much time today to work on the quilt, but I did make some progress.

All it needs now is the border
I'm happy with the way that this quilt is turning out.  I need to add a 5.5" top and bottom border and then either a 2 or 3" side border, and I'll be ready for the machine quilting stage.  Although I still need to buy the backing fabric. 

I found the perfect backing--a queen size flat sheet with white diamonds outlined in the same shade of green that is in the sashing fabric.  Unfortunately, it was part of a sheet set, and I just couldn't justify the cost.  I did find a blue backing fabric that will work well.  Okay, I found the backing fabric section and a green that was close, but not quite right, and then Geff found the blue print.

Once I get a final measurement on the quilt, I'll go back and buy it.  The batting was on sale at JoAnn's--for 40% off, so we did get that tonight.

The Turf Makes a Huge Difference

 I'm finally caught up on older posts.  I took this photo this morning, just after the front lawn had been put in.  I'm loving it.
