OK – Now the top is finished!

Yesterday I got all of the rest of the paper off the back, added the wire to the fence posts with a very narrow zig-zag, gave it a good press and squared it up, and prepared the backing and the batting. Today I will layer, baste and begin the quilting.  It’s three degrees outside so quilting will be the best way to spend this day….

It is currently 48″ wide and 43″ deep and I think the addition of a few more inches really did help.  I especially like how the rock wall goes to the edge, and the area under the fawn’s belly since I changed a few things there. I know that the quilting will add another dimension and that the binding will contain that bit of sky that goes right off the edge. Now it needs a name, I can’t call it the fawn quilt forever!
