During the week I was working on and off cutting the sashings and borders of the HST challenge quilt. All 12 blocks were sewn together, the red border is on and this is how it looks now.
Next week it is being sent off for quilting and on its return I will put on the binding. In the past I have always done my own quilting but this one along with the other two quilts which are being made by the other two members of the group are being donated to charity and the member who set the challenge has offered to have them quilted professionally....who am I to argue. I see many hours being saved on my part.

Back soon and in the meantime
Happy sewing all

That quilt is rather stunning. Are you making one for yourself?
The greys and red look so good together. Well done Karen xx
So pretty, yes I would be happy to accept the offer of custom quilting.
Very striking quilt, now you can make another instead of having to quilt it!
looks great and great you don't have to quilt it......think you have a spam comment there above mine....
