Easy Street!
Bonnie Hunters 2013 Mystery Quilt...
Its done!
I have had it pieced and quilted for over
a year, but hadn't
gotten the binding done until now!
Its so big, king size so I just didnt get
it done..but since I am going to be seeing
Bonnie at her workshop in Auburn, CA in
June, I HAD to get it done
for show and tell!!

So I picked up an extra switchboard shift at work and
I sat there and watched Bonnie on Quilt Cam and finished up that big ole binding....Shhhh..don't tell!!
I used Clover clips for the first time, they work really well! No more pins to pinch me!
