these make a total of twelve... twice what the pattern called for, but I wanted something bigger than a wall hanging. I still have to add sashing and borders - haven't even picked the fabrics out for those yet, - oh, and I need backing fabric, too. I'll get to all of it next week after the quilt show.
Today, I also put a backing together for the 1600 race quilt top that Annette made; hoping to get it loaded and quilted tomorrow - my legs are giving me fits so I may not feel up to it.
And I also have to get something pulled together to work on while at the quilt show on Saturday. I'm thinking that I can add the sashing and borders to the pink blocks that I made out of some of the 'scraps' that Judy gave me. Some of what she gave me was yardage, but some was just 'chunks' like a fat quarter or maybe a third or half of a yard. I used up the smaller chunks of the pink for the blocks and now will cut into the yardage for the sashing and border - should be able to have a nice sized baby quilt at least. I'm pretty sure there will be yardage for the backing fabric, too. I had to chuckle when I started looking through the bag because she said that it was just odds and ends and that they didn't go with anything else she had.. maybe not, but some certainly go with some of the other odds and ends in the bag. I couldn't believe how much pink there was (that she said didn't go with anything else).
I think I'm going to try and cut out the pieces for my first Rare Bear so that I can assemble it at the quilt show; I'm sure I'll have time ( unless I get to yakking with people lol).
Ok, time for bed..
