Black, white & red quilt

This quilt has been sitting around since last year waiting for batting & backing.  Well thanks to my friend Karen the batting & backing got pinned on to the quilt on Sunday.  Monday I couldn't wait to get it quilted, so very early Monday morning I made a start.  I took it slowly as I hadn't done any quilting since last year.  By Wednesday the quilting was done, backing & batting trimmed, binding pressed & turned. Great now I get to hand sew the binding, well after getting three quarters of the way round I had to put it aside as my hands reminded me why I have not been sewing for the past ten months. I will finish it myself in the next week when the swelling in my hands has gone down a bit.   Another UFO will then be completed.
