About five years ago, I had a pandemic project of assembling a quilt kit called In the Beginning. Here’s the finished quilt top from the final post about that project:

And here’s the final blog post about it.

I’d decided that this would be the first quilt that I had quilted by the shop with the long arm machine and took it in there last month. I picked it up and have been sewing on the bias binding – I sewed it to one side by machine, then handstitched it on the back all the way around. This is a big quilt!

The binding is the allover print with the Celtic knots. You can see it more clearly in the detail below.

I chose a meander pattern for the quilting and they used a blue thread. It looks really great!
