This post is the third installment in our series on quilting for beginners--Catch up on the full series below: My First DIY Constellation Quilt, PART ONE DIY Constellation Quilt Embroidery Stitches Tutorial, PART TWO DIY Constellation Quilt Tips & Tricks, PART THREE (This post!) How To Sew A Quilt Binding, PART FOUR YOU GUYS. If you have been a part of The Flora Modiste for the last six months, then you KNOW that I have been working on a massive, ultra time consuming project. And it's not just any sewing project, but our very first quilting project: The DIY constellation quilt. And I can finally (finally!) say that my DIY constellation quilt is FINISHED. I still can't quite believe it. I honestly half expected to never finish the thing--It seemed like any time I would finish a constellation, another 2 would pop up out of nowhere. It's like the thing just kept growing, like the universe itself. Ever expanding. I kept expecting to finish the quilt one week, and when the end was nowhere in sight that Sunday, I would push my finishing date to the next week. And the next week. Then three months went by, and I was still working on it. And mind you--For the last three months, I was working on this quilt every. single. night. Even if just for an hour or two after dinner while my husband & I were watching TV, I was working on it. I went to visit my mom for a weekend up in central California, and my DIY constellation quilt went with me. On Thanksgiving, on Christmas, I was working on this baby. Seriously, a constant work in progress. (The final step in any quilting project involves closing the raw edges of the quilt off with a binding. Prep for that final step now, with our step-by-step tutorial on how to sew a quilt binding!) And while yes, this DIY constellation quilt has taken up a TON of time (At least 3 times longer than the predicted 60 hours) I absolutely loved the project. It was almost therapeutic to just sit and work, keeping my hands moving. I am one of those people that literally cannot JUST SIT. If I am just sitting there watching TV (even if it's something I am intensely interested in) I have to be doing something else. To continue being productive. Which made this quilt the perfect evening project. And also: For the last 5 years or so, my husband and I have been participating in a
