Marie is at the 'spa' and I'm dearly missing her.
This pink quilt is done ... just waiting for Marie to return home so we can make binding together.
This is what I did today... I quilted the Chicken Buffet quilt. After spending quite a bit of time searching online for twin size Hobb's 80/20 in black, I realized it wasn't to be found. I don't know why they don't make it, but they don't. The smallest size they make is queen size and I already have two of those. I wanted twin ( or smaller - like 60x60) for this Chicken Buffet quilt. I didn't want to have to try and chop up a big piece of batting for this smaller quilt.
I finally gave in and bought some 80/20 off white over at Walmart - and I may live to regret it. The backing for the quilt is a solid black and I'm using black Glide thread top & bottom. It looks like the batting is coming through the backing ... it may be just my eyes or it may look better once I get it off the frame and it relaxes a little.
It's all quilted except for the outer border.... I'm not sure how I want to quilt it... with red thread on top and black on bottom or red top & bottom... black top & bottom... I don't know. I also don't know what pattern I want to do. I've already done cute little feathers that kind of look like the chickens feathers in all the sashing so I don't want to do feathers again.
Anyone got any ideas? I guess I'll be looking through my pattern books and my pinterest to see if I can come up with something inspiring.
Guess that's it for tonight....
