Poor picture of the top with inner border complete.
I needed yellow for the outer borders, but had pretty much used up what I had in my stash. There are a couple larger pieces of yellow left, but not large enough for the borders without using both and I didn't want to do that. So, my plan was to see if I could find some when I went to the quilt shop with my friend, Vicki, today.
Best laid plans..... you know how that goes - I woke up at 4 a.m. and didn't go back to sleep until about 7 - slept until 10:32 and I was supposed to meet Vicki at 10:30! I gave her a call and told her to go on without me... that I'd have to join her another day.
Since I needed to go find somewhere to send a fax I thought I'd go down to the LQS to see what they had in yellow - but as I was pulling into the credit union, I remembered that I had two yards of yellow that I'd bought for my oldest daughter's table runner - and IF I use it on the table runner, I only need one yard at the most. So when I got back home, I dug it out... and
TAADAA!!
I really like how it came out :)
I was hoping to get the charity quilt done, but just got around this afternoon to ripping out quilting stitches on the quilt that's on the frame right now. I really want to get it one finished before I take it off the frame... it's been on there since JUNE!!!
- that's what I'll be working on tomorrow and hopefully will get to the charity quilt on Monday or Tuesday. It shouldn't take long to do since I've decided to do an all-over meandering pattern ( the charity quilt that is).
If I can find some backing, I'd like to get Infrognito quilted before the next guild meeting; I have batting and binding... just need to figure out what I want for the backing. That reminds me, I have another pillow to make - this time for the VA. Thank goodness that won't take long and I should be able to get it done before the meeting this week, too.
