Mansfield Park Almost Finished

I started the Mansfield Park quilt over a year ago and it is almost finished!  Woo Hoo!

I'm finishing up the free motion quilting. I'm not entering it in any show.  This is my first quilt larger than a twin size where I have done the quilting myself.  Luckily, the actual quilting doesn't show up a lot because it sure isn't perfect!

I quilted it in two pieces because it would have been too big to quilt in one piece.  It measures 82" x 96".
Here it is laid out on a larger bed with the two halves lined up.

I sewed the two sections together and then placed it on a table with the top side down so I could prepare to join the back sections.

I trimmed the batting so each side would butt up against each other.

Then I folded the  backing in preparation for hand stitching it together.  I finished that and then quilted the section in the middle where the quilt was joined.  Tomorrow I'm going to bind it and I will post a picture of the whole quilt when I'm finished.  Monday night is my guild meeting, so it will be finished for that.

In my September 4 post, I told about a giveaway of a wool applique pumpkin that I won from JoAnn .  Well, Here it is finished and hanging on my china cabinet.  He's kind of prim!

His wonky smile is funny!  I don't have many fall decorations, so he can join what I do  have.

Thanks for visiting!  Enjoy your weekend.
