It turns out that a twin quilt is substantially larger than a baby or toddler quilt.  It also turns out that quilting every half inch or so is a lot of quilting.

Because the twin quilt is so large, I had to roll both sides and then roll in lengthwise for almost every seam.  There’s probably a better way, but I’m not sure exactly what it is.  Even with fairly low loft batting, it’s just a lot of quilt to maneuver.

I’m fairly pleased with the result, though.

Now, I just have to bind it.  I’m toying with the idea of attempting to machine bind it, but I’m really torn.  I know it will look nice if I do it by hand.  I’m not sure I have enough confidence in my sewing skills to do it by machine.  However, it would be much quicker, and it seems like a useful skill to have.  A twin-size quilt would take several days to hand-sew, but on the other hand, it can be done sitting on the couch with H watching TV, so it’s not an arduous task by any means.

The binding fabric I wanted was only available from fabric.com, which means, sigh, I will be waiting a good week for it to arrive.  Why are there no other fabric retailers with such a wide selection?

Fear not, there is more quilting to be done.  I will move on to sunrise.
