Just in the Nick of Time....

I need to get some better photos during daylight hours, but I am totally relieved to have my 365 Block Challenge quilt finished--by the end of the month!!!
I was beginning to have doubts that I could get this finished, but I finally got there! 

My label is from a Downton Abbey label panel.
Confession: it still needs to be stitched down--just glued in place right now. 

I was lucky to find a piece of  navy "Quilter's Linen" by Robert Kaufman in my stash for the binding. 
There's a lot more quilting than I originally planned. Well, truthfully, I didn't have a plan beyond getting it done, which was my big hang up. So glad it's finished!!
The 365 Challenge quilt was my One Monthly Goal and is also on my Finish-A-Long 2nd Quarter 2017 list.

  23. Karen I love your idea of using glue to hold the quilt label in place for stitching! I have always used pins and the thread constantly gets wrapped around them. Thanks for sharing!
