The Front Is Done and All Is Well, or Super Huge Napkin Seeking Super Huge Donut For Long Walks and Cuddle Time

Holy Cow!!! The front is done, and it's HUGE.  Ok, it's huge compared to the napkin it started out as.  After a short hiatus from the sewing machine I was able to get back to finish up the final border.  I like the way the long strips of corduroy looks against the alternating blocks of the same material, way to go teacher great idea.  After some folding under and attaching the back the final size should be more than big enough for my mom to cuddle up under.

So now the back and the ties are the focus.  We decided to go with a pre-quilted back piece instead of an inner batting and fabric since we were going to tie the quilt together, and the fact that I'm a big sissy that needs all the help he can get. :)  This, like every other step in the process, is something new to me and I can't wait to get started.  The piece of backing is not wide enough to cover the whole back, but sewing two pieces together is.  This fact is the main reason that we added the extra border.  As my grandma used to say "If you got it, quilt it".  Ok, I might have that confused with something else, but that is neither here nor there.  One or so more blog entries and I will have completed the journey from novice to novice with a quilt.  Then I will be ready to sew the fur and make the monsters... What?  I have to make you a purse and a lunch bag first?  Andrea is this more training or are you just trying to take advantage of free labor?  Somehow I think I might be in for a long journey in the next few months.
