merry christmas to me

I decided to go ahead and give myself a very special Christmas present but it entailed doing something that I sometimes dread because it can be stressful and I knew I needed to do it today- topstitching!  I started at 11am and with a lot of stops and gos just finished!  I will select a binding tomorrow and hopefully have it completely done by Christmas morning.  THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to this beautiful quilt.  I had to trim quite a bit which was so sad for me to do but I just had to do it.  I LOVE IT.  Each fabric became more special to me as I meandered over each piece.  Fabrics I hadn't noticed before popped out before my very eyes and I became even more endeared to the fabrics I noticed right away.
Thanks again!  Camie
