Scrap Quilt: Done!!

Okay, so I might have cut it down to the line just a bit, but it is 11:40 pm my time and I finally got the last stitches in my scrap quilt top!

Ta da!!!!


The picture is a little dark, but it's dark outside and I wanted to prove it was done, so this is what I get.  I'll have to take better ones in the daylight tomorrow.  I decided to change up my pattern a bit as I went along, but I really do like how it turned out.  The bad news is that about an hour ago my machine started making some odd clanking noises from the bottom.  It is still working and I was able to get the last border strip on, but I'm afraid it might be due for a tune-up...not good since I still have an ugly fabric challenge due in two weeks.  (I've been working hard on that one and will post updates soon.)  I'll tear my machine open tomorrow and see if I can pinpoint the noise.  Now it's off to get some much needed sleep before I have to get up and go to work tomorrow.  Unlike some people, I'm not as lucky as you all and get to take whole weeks off of work just to stay home and sew.  I'm so jealous, but I do like my job...just not as much as quilting.
