Positively Scrappy: Quilted and Ready for Binding

Last week my friend Cherie (SeeMoreQuilts.blogspot.com) was here for an at-home retreat at my house. We had a great time and got a lot accomplished, but we're keeping the project under wraps for a while. 

Since then, I had a time slot on PCQ's long arm, so I was able to get Positively Scrappy quilted. I had absolutely no problems whatsoever with the machine or the quilting using the club's light grey thread. 

Well, except that I ran out of bobbin about 90 percent of the way across the last pass and had to stop and wind another bobbin. Sheesh! But still, no quality problems. 

If I say so myself, I love how this quilt turned out. For an essentially black and white quilt, it has A LOT of color in it. It's actually a very cheerful quilt despite all that black.

I still need to bind and label it. The binding is a one of the black/grey prints used in the top. 

At 54" by 72" this will be a good throw size for a teen. It's perfect for one of the charities we support.
