Thank you Harrison Ford et al...

Before I had even got showered and dressed this morning, I had trimmed and attached the binding to the Constellation quilt, and decided that the drizzle outside would make a wonderful excuse for a film-laden afternoon for everyone after a very early lunch!


Look how much thread I had left!! Thankfully I bought another reel yesterday 'just in case'!

Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom followed by Jurassic Park III and I am completely over the moon as the Constellation quilt is finished!!!


I love it so much; it has turned out a million times more amazing than I ever envisaged when I cut all those charms for the wonderful Brit Bee ladies back in October.

I will get some photos first thing in the morning so you can see it in its full glory tomorrow!

This evening I also fulfilled the day's Mouthy Stitches duties and flickr-mailed 'my' third of the wonderful swappers with their partner details, a whole week earlier than we had anticipated so now I can get stalking my partner too.  Let the zippy times roll!

    do you sew your binding on entirely by machine? No hand finish on the one side? I would love to see a photo of how it looks. Congrats on the finish.

    Yay for finishing! I went shopping for some Mr Ford action recently, but refused to pay £30 for the pleasure!

    even downloaded latest IE9 and no joy.

    Action films are great background noise to keep me motivated - I think its the music!
