I finished a quilt top last night! It’s composed of blocks made by the lovely ladies of the Threads Together Quilting Bee, as well as some other helpful folks, and even a few by little ol’ me!
I may be totally insane and alone here, but does finishing a quilt top ever feel anticlimactic to anyone else? There’s something about assembling all those small, fiddly pieces that just feels right. It seems as though the whole thing will never come together. But then, with a single, final seam, it’s done. And I’m sitting at my machine thinking, “Really? That’s it?”
Make no mistake – the anticlimax is hardly a disappointment. Maybe it isn’t an anticlimax at all, since, let’s face it, finishing a top does not equal finishing a quilt. Sewing on a binding represents the real finish line.
Still, it seems to warrant some (small) celebration. How do you mark a quilting milestone?
