I finished the teddy bear quilt! Pics here: https://dianec42.dreamwidth.org/668365.html

Wow do I need to get my ass in gear on my brother's memory quilt. (And learn an easier way to do the binding. No way in hell am I doing that much hand sewing ever again.)

I did acquire backing fabric so that was something. Jo-Ann didn't have any chambray shirting I liked, so I went with actual quilting fabric in a nice powder blue.

That quilt looks great!

Urgh, I hear you on an easier way for binding. I don't even do quilts, and while part of the reason is that I desperately do not need Yet Another Fiber Art, a somewhat more practical part of the reason is that my sewing setup is just. Not at all conducive to machine quilting. And I refuse to do any substantial amount of sewing by hand. A little bit here and there to close some seams? Sure. Whatever I need for amigurumi? Fine. Anything beyond that? I am not falling for it.

Anyway, good luck! I hope you find a long arm sewing machine (for example) on sale somewhere.

Thanks! I so do not have space for a longarm machine! I may have to spring for a large-throat machine at some point. I managed to do competent straight-line quilting on my regular old Brother, but I'm not sure how big a quilt I can jam through there without violating the laws of physics.

Also I have just this moment noticed I'll be using my Brother to make a quilt about my brother. Seems appropriate.

That quilt is gorgeous. Love the colours. It looks so soft.

Powder blue is my favourite colour. Well picked.
