I wrote about receiving this bundle of "Miss Kate" and the backing yardage back about 2 weeks ago. This was an unexpected gift and I couldn't wait to cut into it. I threw all the fabric in the wash immediately and started planning where to go with it. I KNEW I'd use a Schnibbles pattern...that was a given since Carrie Nelson herself had gifted me the fabric. I went with "Lincoln" and all I changed up was adding 1 extra row to make it a little longer. Anyone that knows me knows I'm not a fan of square quilts :) By the time the weekend was over I had all the star blocks made. Over the next week I made all the rail fence units and got the center of the quilt finished.
And then it sat............ Moving day came and went, baby shower day came and went, then I had to clean....seriously, I need a cleaning lady :)
BUT, yesterday I decided it was time to get it off the design wall and ready for the quilting.
I cut all the piano key borders and attached them to the white skinny borders.....
And, voile by 8:00 last night I had the quilt finished and the backing made.
I'll be taking this beauty out to post office today for it's trip to NY.
I'll post a better picture when it comes back from the quilter and when the sun comes out...if it ever comes back out.

Hi Peg! Love the quilt! As well as all of your other finishes in the previous posts! I have been at the sewing machine for days. Ever since I moved my sewing room in fact! Having fun! Hubby is fishing today, and guess what I will be doing? Yep...sewing!

I've always loved this pattern and of course it's even better in Miss Kate. I need a cleaning lady too! Four days work as a teacher, three young kids and a husband with all our activities, there's not time to clean!
