The piecing is completely finished! The waving that appears on the border farthest away is an illusion...it's on top of my living room rug, and I didn't smooth it down completely. This measures 67" x 79". I am about to go piece the backing and iron the binding (which is cut already). I pushed this through so I could take it on our long-awaited vacation starting Monday morning. I need support (or therapy!), but I couldn't imagine having so many hours of driving time and evening time in the hotel w/o a hand-sewing project. Are any of you like that?
Gotta go piece that backing! Susanna said she'd baste it for me once I get it ready!!

Simply lovely!
Yes! I have to have hand work to take on trips (and to do while watching TV)! Have a great vacation!
Oh Joan! that is SO beautiful. It is stunning.

Your apple core is so lovely, Joan. It really inspires me. I bought the template months ago, but have not had the time to get going on it --But soon I will. I'm ready to pull fabric!
Congratulations! What an amazing quilt!
Oh, are you kidding? I need to pack my project(s)!!! before anything else gets put into my overnight bag!
Even if I leave the house for a few house, I NEED to take something with me...
:) Have fun!

That is beautiful! I made an apple core quilt last year. I pieced it by machine and cursed most of the way! I would NEVER do that again for that pattern!
Sooooo nice! I love the simplicity of this quilt.
Your Seeds of Kindness looks wonderful!! I am happy to see that you didn't take the border back off :0) (Are you still thinking about adding the ric rac?)
Have a great vacation!! I almost always have a "take along" hand project of some sort with me, if I can, when we are traveling!
It's beautiful. An apple core quilt is on my long list of quilts to make. I have a template, but oh those curves!
I love your choice for the border. I am quilting a little apple core quilt right now but didn't add any border at all...maybe I'll have to do a second one!
This is simply stunning .... I just love the border and the way the center seems to be floating, love it!
I always have something to take with me on road trips. If my hands aren't busy, I'm eating, so handwork helps to control my diet (that's a good excuse, eh?)
