Quilting is done

The quilting is done on my Strawberry Lemonade quilt (note I've given it a different name).  I did get it finished Sunday night.  On Monday I was going to buy binding, so I went hunting for my scraps and what do you know!  I already have binding, it came with the kit.  Had spent Monday redoing the living room and shopping with Mary.  Today went to church to try and rearrange desks again.  And tomorrow I'll go up and help sew.  We are making baptismal bibs again.
