Ingrid's quilt is progressing

Here the quilting is done. Now I have to clean the edges so I can do the edge finish. This quilt will have a knife edge finish, since the three pieces are attached to each other. Binding just wouldn't look right. The third piece doesn't get quilted- it will just be stiffened so it can hang nicely.

My connecting method will have to be adapted. At first I thought I could just connect the pieces with beads, but it's clear that the beads are too small to support the whole quilt. Now I'm thinking I will take small strips of yellow and sew beads onto them. 

There are 8 decorative stitches which comprise the quilting. Each stitch on the top piece is aligned with the same stitch on the bottom piece. Here are a couple of pics.

 

 

Busy little worker bee

Without anything big to show for my effort. Lots of things are in progress.
Got my sewing room tidied up, cleaned out the guest room so Dear Daughter can come for a short visit, worked on this, worked on that, ... ooh ooh!
I finished all the blocks for my Ula Lenz Sterne BOM! Don't have the strips sewn yet.
Now I'm working on Ingrid's quilt, have the sandwich done and chose the decorative stitches I want to use. Then I really really wanted to work on a small project, so I made this mug rug out of some of the scraps from Ingrid's quilt.
 Here are some pics of the finished mug rug, with actual size decorative stitches. Also a picture of the mug rug in the wild (my office).
