Hi!
Finally, I made it to the end.. Though Lynne has finished her QAL way back in September, I am glad I made it to the final. Trace back the W.I.P post of this quilt here.
I guess I should stock up more backing fabrics. That was the main reason for it taking a bit of a little more time. I finally decided that I would make the backing with whatever I have – patch it up.

Well.. the only problem was, I don’t have a big design wall.. so I work my way through the carpet floor of my living room (which I can only do at night when my little one is already asleep) . The size of the quilt was the maximum that my apartment floor could manage. : p

I quilt it simple – echoing double line of the flags. The biggest struggle was turning the quilt around at each point. The wrestle with the quilt was a great exercise. LOL
Finally, after several evenings, I was done quilting it… (below is the image of my basting pins removed from the quilt) I use these curved basting pins – one of the game-changer in my quilting journey. It was definitely easy using these pins to baste than the normal pins.
It was time to bind it. I used DS fabrics for Spotlight / Joann. It is then I realized, I only have one ruler. And it’s short.. I think it’s time to get one long one…
I bind using the tutorial by Rita here. I love this method.

Your quilt is beautiful. I love seeing the Jacks in colors other than red and blue. The color combinations you selected are great. And I think you definitely deserve a longer ruler 🙂

This is a really pretty Jack quilt – and don’t you just love the kinked safety pins?
