 Just checking in for a quick minutes to day to report that the Goldfinch is quilted! It took a lot of time but 80% of that time was for procrastinating and worry. The ACTUAL quilting time wasn't all that much.  The denim as batting worked great. It was a dream to quilt through and the piece will hang nice as a tapestry without any puffy areas. YOu can see some white through the stitches in the dark area but I think a nice steaming will take care of that and you can't see it from any distance anyway.
Next up is binding (or facing) and then I think I'll be able to easily get my 3 veterans quilts quilted and bound before we leave in 2 weeks. Today I'm in the dye studio for the last time until Spetember!

It looks like there are a LOT of seams on the right hand side. It might be a challenge to do a facing on that edge. But I think a facing would be ideal for this one. 7/20/2023 08:46:42 am
It is beautiful! Facing or binding, another decision. I think I might be tempted to go with binding to cap off the lighter colors at the edge against a light wall color.

It turned out fabulous! Now to bind it so you can hang it up and enjoy all your hard work!

I hear you, 20% quilting time, 80% dithering about how to quilt. The finch is lovely. Just a thought, mounting on stretcher frame?!
