Remember this quilt? I was able to trim my #modastitchpink quilt now that it’s back from my long-armer (and my floors are sparkling clean so it doesn’t pick up threads and dust). Sarah at @luckypennyquilting did a great job quilting this one 💙. I can’t wait to show you a completed quilt with binding soon!
