I finally had a night where I could work on Emily’s quilt and get the top finished up!  I got the border on last night, then used a spray baster to put it together.  We’ll see how the spray baster works out for such a large quilt but it will make it easier to machine quilt if that’s the route I go.
I’m going to try machine quilting it but if that doesn’t work out i can always hand quilt it and make it her Christmas gift instead of bday gift.  I’m not even positive I can finish it for her birthday even if I machine quilt it.  I’ve never done one this large before!

Anyway – here’s  apicutre of the quilt just after i “basted” it!

Emily's quilt

The back of the quilt is 2 panels of fabric, one red and one yellow.
