Red Pepper Quilts is hosting a Post-Your-Blog page. I posted mine over there–and there is a long list of wonderful looking blogs to browse through. I’m always excited to see new ideas and to see what other quilters are doing.
Many thanks to Rita for doing this.
I can see mine!
(Can you tell I’m doing everything to avoid grading papers?)
I think I’m about halfway finished. I’m glad to be at this point!
A set of papers to grade are coming in Thursday, and I need to pay attention to more school stuff. Getting this sewn together–with the sashing around the edges–will allow me to take a bit of a break.
When we dropped off my sister’s quilt at Cathy-the-Quilter’s, Cathy had my orange and pink quilt ready to come home. I’m just now getting to it.
My original thought was to piece the binding, using fabrics from the quilt. But after piecing upteem-jillion pieces on my Come A-Round quilt, I’m about up-to-there with piecing.
So I’m going with this strawberry print by Ann Kelle for Robert Kaufman. I usually don’t like white-ish fabrics on a binding, but I’m more than happy to use this and not have to piece! Cathy did a stars-and-loops pattern for the quilting. She’s terrific.
A Day in the Life. Trying for those first borders. The captions are in the photos.
Not done, but at least I can now go to dinner with my husband. Our Saturday-night date.
This is what happens when you realize that you’ve cut the piece 16″ and it should have been 16 1/2″. You piece it. With whatever scraps you have. Even though you are creating a new kind of fabric with a two-toned dot.
