The Quilt Is Finished!~Updated w/pics at bottom.~
I feel so relieved! All of the hand quilting is done and I finished sewing the edge today. I didn't use a binding. I folded the front and back to the inside approx. 1/4 in. and sewed around the edge. It really looks great and it feels so good to be done with it. I started it last year in September so it will be wierd not having it around anymore.
Now I just need to sign it, wrap it, put it in a box and mail it to Mom and Dad. I sure hope they like it.

I'll try and get a picture of it in the morning and post. I figured you were all tired at the looking at the same quilt in progress for a year, lol.
Question!!! I've been pondering on how to sign the quilt. It's for my Mom & Dad for Christmas. So how would you sign it? I plan on just doing a running stitch with embroidery thread to sign it.
How do you ladies sign your quilts? What's the norm?"Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibity."

Here are 3 pics of the finished quilt. Sorry they are so bad, for some reason my camera has started not focusing right or maybe it's just the operator, lol.

Here is a pic of the backing material. I love how the backing has the triangle pattern that's on the front.
