Binding on and Delivered!

I got the Orange and Blue quilt back from the quilter and put the binding on while taking a drive to St. George. We went to see the play, Tarzan, at Tuacahn outdoor theater. The play was spectacular with apes flying over our heads. At one point Tarzan came down a wire line from half way up the mountain onto the stage. For those of you who have been to that area you know the red, rock mountains are high and rugged. It was lots of fun. But back to the quilt! It was a little complicated manuevering a large quilt around on my lap so that I could bind the whole thing but I had taken time at home to fold it so that I could just keep turning and turning the whole folded quilt in my lap and get to all the edges.


I think you can see some of the flower, leaf and vine quilting that Toma Blair of Orem did. She did a beautiful job of quilting, by the way. I used a bright orange flannel on the back.

These blues and oranges were a bit softened in color compared to the really, really bright orange and blue that the wedding couple used as their colors to decorate. The reception was outside and luckily the weather cooled off enough to be enjoyable, with a slight wind, and a few threatening rain clouds. My newest baby granddaughter was dressed in a bright orange onesie and blue tutu, with blue leggings and shiny gold sandles all picked out or made by her paternal grandma.

I also got the Baseball quilt back from the quilter and will put the binding on in the next couple of days. Then I can give it away too! It doesn't get much better than this.

Happy Quilting! Lynda
