I haven't worked on Dad's sailboats quilt any- I know, bad! But, it has been too easy to put it off to work on other things!
On another note, I ordered a Layer Cake (or 3) the other day and my order came in WRONG. So, the DH's Airplanes is on hold again too! I really am upset about that, because he finally comes home today! He will be here for 2 weeks! YEAH!
On to the pictures!
I am not sure if you can see it but there are about 900 (rough estimate) pins in the center seam of this puppy. I am so glad this top is together. That was the final seam when I was piecing the sections together.
And, then, TA DA! Momma's Sunshine. Sans borders.
Down here you can see I was playing around with using my extra units as borders. I am still doing that but with a solid inner border first. (Forgot to snap a pic of that!)
Those units are leftovers from what should have been more center. But, I just knew if I kept going I would never get it done. I am going to add enough in borders though to make it a nice useable lap quilt for Mom.
Fishy eating Fishy! |
Maybe you can see the little pup with a bone? |
Next up in My WIP world: Getting my fabrics together for the next Bonnie Mystery over at Quiltville.
The constant? Instead of Winter Flannel Gray. |
Greens of all colors, instead of Limey Apple Greens? |
Deep Chocolates, Instead of Purples? |
Dark and Bright blues instead of Cool Aqua & Turquoise. |
The Farm, Football and Camping gear I am using for a back. Somehow I ended up with rather large cuts of these horrible fabrics. But, I plan to put them to good use!
I forget to get a snap of my Black on Whites. But, I have them- just probably not enough. Woo Hoo! That means I get to shop!
Ya'll have a good week!
I am linking up with Lee over at freshlypieced.
Just found your blog. I love the quilt. It is nice to see it in different colours. I too am eargerly awaiting Bonnies new mystery. I could not decide on colours but will decide today. Determined to use my stash rather than go and buy new. Jan x
