My "Insanity" Project Is Completed

It took two quilting retreats plus countless hours at home to do the sewing. All the strips of fabric were fraying because they had to be handled so much. It would have been better to use batiks which don't fray and the edges stay crisp. This will be the first and last time I'll make this kind of item.

The quilting is done with wiggly lines that follow the chevrons.
