Aurora Borealis Log Cabin Quilt of Valor

I've been working on this one for a little while now, and should have it all the way to binding tomorrow. Of course, it will then sit until I get my good sewing machine back from the Viking repair at Joann's, going on 6 weeks now...

Before all was said and done, the viking folks took 9 weeks to get my machine back to me after promising two weeks, then advised me to pick it up at five weeks, when they couldn't find my sewing machine, because it wasn't there! Pretty irresponsible group of folks. I wouldn't buy from them again!

When I started on Reflections on Water, and found an aqua fabric that wouldn't work there, I conceived this quilt. It's beautiful, and went out to a Vietnam Vet.

Just to be sure you understand, I purchase all my own fabrics, threads, battings, supplies and equipment to create these quilts that take approximately 100 hours to make (some are closer to 85 hours, many are more like 120 hours.) It's all me, beginning to end!
The binding is stitched on but can't be finished

I usually add fun fabrics, they are in the binding
