I didn't do any sewing today - but did spend some time on Pinterest trying to figure out how I want to quilt my Daisy Dance quilt ( my July Challenge UFO). I finally gave up trying to find something that would 'fit' in the blank squares; I already knew what I wanted to do in the blocks with the flowers in them and I found an idea for the outer border... I didn't find a lot of ideas to use in the blank squares/blocks and finally decided I'd see if I could find the picture of the pattern online. I looked - nope, not a pic good enough to see the quilting. BUT I did see a picture of the magazine it was in... I knew it was Fons & Porter and 2009, but that's about all. Once I saw a pic. of the magazine, I went looking for it in my 'collection'... YAY! found it... and, although I didn't like the quilting in the blank spaces originally, now it doesn't seem too bad - and something I can definitely do. So, I think I'm ready to start quilting it this coming weekend.
Yesterday, I made some more tiger paw blocks and have enough for one side of the quilt top
- plus a little extra... arghhh.
I decided that I'm just going to add a narrow sashing/border with a cream 'grunge' fabric. I really don't think my grandson is going to question or care about it.
Maybe tomorrow night I'll work on making some more blocks... I think I need seven more for the other side border... after I get these two side borders on, I'll decide whether I want to do the same for top and bottom borders - if I do, I may have to resize the pattern again so that they'll fit without me having to make any more 'design decisions'.
Ok, that's it for tonight... I have to be up at the crack of dawn in the morning to take hubby to another dr's appt... grocery shopping after that; then, probably a nap LOL
