This is the skirt (I can't think of a better name for it, sorry) part of a shepherd costume I'm making for part of the church Nativity program this weekend. The fur was much more messy than I had anticipated. I liked cutting it into the ragged shape. It is supposed to match an illustration from the book When Jesus Was Born in Bethlehem.
Also! I finished the binding on my 9-patch quilt. I went out to take a picture before the sun went down, but it was too windy.
I'll try to get good pictures of the whole thing tomorrow. My 8-year-old neighbor asked me what day I started it, and I told her I started it in 2009. I'm glad to get it done, ready to move onto the next big thing! I'm glad I asked about straight line quilting here; I think I've learned some things that will help me improve in that area next time I decide to quilt that way.
I'm linking up at Amy's One Thing, One Week Challenge. Finishing this up was my goal a week ago--I did it!

congrats on your finish!!! you could then use it next year for halloween and go as a cave woman! great quilt as well! the binding is so fun!
i LOVE that binding!!!! it looks great. i can not wait to see more finish pictures
Your quilt looks great. I love the stripe binding. The weirdest thing I ever made was a cave man "dress" like Fred Flintstone wore. When you can sew you can get some pretty strange requests!
Great job!! I love the skirt! :o) What a great costume that will be!
Hooray on making your goal - and I too hate working with fake fur...SUCH a MESS! Totally worth it in your case though!
congrats on your finish! I love that stripey binding & your shepherd skirt looks fun!!
