Finishing the Mac Race

My July Modern Mini - Finishing the Mac
Yes, that is my nightgown, lol!  It has been a bit since I've done a PJ early morning photo.

I tried to quilt "wind" across the surface with light blue and pink silk threads.
I love the way silk looks as it glides over different colored fabric.
 I haven't sewn down the binding yet, it is glued in place.  The best technique I've ever used.  Here is the backing fabrics.  I had to use a light one for the top so it wouldn't shadow the front.
 I give myself a A- on matching the binding.  It may get better after it is stitched and pressed.
Here is a look my process for this quilt
 I spray basted it just went for it.
Remember Pasta Salad?  Well, it is as good as you remembered.  I hadn't made it in forever.  You can add just about anything, I added fresh herbs from my garden and it is such a nice side dish for a summer supper. 
 What can I say?  We're still smitten with Nutmeg.  She's a monster and tears around the house, but she is also sweet and soft.
 Happy Summer! and Smooth Sailing in August.
