The quilt continued

I'm on a roll! Actually I'm a bit single minded when I start something, if I read a book I won't put it down until it's finished, then I get to the end and wish I'd savoured it a bit more. I'm much the same with decorating, I know that once we get to the painting stage upstairs, and we almost are, I won't stop until it's done. Nothing else will get done, a bit like this weekend really apart from the quilt.
Our bed is a King size bed so the quilt needs to be quite big or I think it will just look silly. The quilt as it was left yesterday was fine in the length but it was still too narrow. The panels are edged in those lovely rust and some wine coloured edging. I've pretty much run out of the rust but I have plenty of the wine colour left, that will be used to bind the edges, so I really didn't have enough to do more panels to widen the quilt. So I cut the panels down the middle and made long lengths to go either side, then with the other fabric I used between the panels, put strips down both sides and along the top and bottom.
I laid it over the bed and thought, 'Yup, that's done it!'
So now I assume I have to put some quilt wadding and a backing fabric. I don't have anything for that, a trip to Spotlight might be in the offing, how awful! haha
In the meantime as I wait for Tuesday I might make some pillow cases to match.


Oh, and I had help again, this time with the ironing, Tiger is such a helpful boy!
