My miniature "Wheel of Mystery" is finished!By finished, I mean quilted, bound, and labelled!

Yahoo...another quilt project finished!
Now back to quilting the elephant in the room!!!
I use Fray Check in my knitting. If I use a non-woolen yarn it does not stick to itself when I weave the tail ends in so I use a dot of Fray Check to stick in the end.
