Paperweight Top is Done!

Now to think of backing and quilting!  This is wonderful.  I am hoping it lays straight.  (fingers and toes crossed).  There are so many not so straightway seams and no square edges anywhere.  When I pieced a background and a circle I made sure it laid flat and ironed it.  Some I set with starch, but I think the starch was messing with my allergies and causing my eyes to swell.  So I left it alone and just used the heady steam.


I like it a lot.

I went from this:






To this:












To this:













To this:  Do they look alike!

  6. Congratulations on getting this top done! I see some of the fabric I sent you in it! Too bad we don't live closer. We could lay the quilt top out on my big 8' x 8' table and press that sucker flat!
