Weekend progress with Irene

I love it when I have a productive weekend!  In between shopping for tile and a vanity for our bathroom remodel (my hubby's summer project), I managed to make some more progress on my Good Night Irene quilt.  On Friday, I finished piecing the top:


Then on Saturday (after losing a bit a lot of sleep trying to figure out what to do with the back and what kind of quilting to do), I managed to get the back pieced and I love the way it turned out!


Next up, I put together some Franken-batting and made the binding (how cute is this 

Delighted Blue Floral by The Quilted Fish for Riley Blake?)


On Sunday, I managed to get it basted ~



and started the quilting.  So far, so good!



Linking up with Anything Goes Monday and Sew Cute Tuesday.

  10. Your basting looks unusual - are they special pins? The quilting turned out beautifully - even after washing.
