Yes folks, Big Bertha is finished. Had her all clipped to the clothesline real nice and as I went to click the picture, a very slight breeze blew in and sent it waving but it's the best picture I could get today.
I now know why Karen called the quilt "BIG" Bertha...this gal is huge!!! Now I need to get a backing for it and figure out how it should be quilted.
And just in case you were wondering...Yes, I do work, but I've been off for 2 days with the itchy scratchies on the backs of both legs. Went for blood work this morning to determine whether the bumpies are from a virus associated with the head cold I have or chicken pox. I say it's a virus but the good doc will let me know tomorrow...
I got yet, 2 more quilts back yesterday that need bindings attached so I think I best devote a little time to them today and get the bindings done...the tacking down can get done while I'm vegging in front of the TV at night.

Oh, my gosh! Your quilt looks just gorgeous. Congratulations! I love your color choices. I feel just like a proud mama!
ReplyDelete*Very* pretty, Peggy!
ReplyDeleteAnd exectly how big is dear Bertha? I love the color combination.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Hope the itchy bits settle too!
ReplyDeletePeggy, I don't know how you do it. I can barely sew those lap quilts together. I'm so very impressed. And big Bertha is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWOW....you got that done really quick! I hope you feel better soon. I shudder to ask this, but does the doctor think you might have shingles??? (The minute I was old enough to get the vaccine to prevent that, I got it...and I do mean the MINUTE I turned 60!!!) I know you aren't old enough yet for the shot....but I'm hoping your itchy is from something minor and will be gone in another day or so.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the color combination.
