Well, it took almost two years but it's finally done. Ignore the posts and photos of the quilt backs - I did not use them for this project but will probably use them for something else... The project had stalled in January 2022 and did not proceed until Carmit came from Munich for a visit. She agreed to longarm the quilts for me but advised me not to use the backings I had made. Instead, we bought new batting and backing at The Quilt Store in Newmarket where I had rented time on their longarm machine. Carmit spent six hours longarming the quilts, doing stitch in the ditch so as not to detract from the tie designs. She also helped me with the facing. And here they are: Am I relieved? Yes. Do I feel an enormous sense of accomplishment? Yes. Thanks for reading.
