Over the weekend, I started to piece a patriotic Warm Wishes. I am one rail short (lower right corner), must have miscalculated the number that I needed as I adjusted the pattern to *fit* the suggested QOV size. I'm thinking of using the red with white stars as the border. I wonder if a narrow white inner border would look nice?
Goals for next week:
Like kitties? Then head on over to Sewmeow's blog. She is hosting a Give Away since July is her birthday month and she is adding goodies every day for 18 days! Wowza!
This little donation quilt was quite the stash buster! It used the last of both pinks (inner border and binding), purple and yellow. Follow this link for the pattern. I have enough mermaids and shells to make one more donation quilt similar to this one. I did the binding by machine...a fast finish but one technique I need to practice.
Since I had the purple/yellow 4 patches made (they didn't make it into another project), this mermaid quilt top was quick and easy to assemble.
Today is cool and cloudy here at Bell Creek Quilts, more like fall than summer. Everything is very green and the flowers are blooming their course. I was happy to see that the pond has cattails and water lilies!
To my neighbors and friends to the North, Happy Canada Day!
A little math and two weeks later, here is the Corvette Flimsy. This top really should have taken me about two, maybe three, days max to sew together.Goals for next week:
I hit a little bump in the road on my current project. DS decided to change the pattern I was following up a bit and wanted a completely pieced outer border--the 4 patches. I have already cut the inner panel piece and need to *think about* how to make it all work. I have a few different ideas swirling around on the changes I need to make.
I went to a fabric garage sale today. All fabric was $3.00/yard. The seller had a huge inventory of fabric she was trying to liquidate. I came away with 18 (yikes!) yards and I had one of the smaller orders!
