I have one more row of blocks to complete with black thread and then come the borders... not sure yet if I'll stay with black or if the blue thread I have will look better... we'll find out in the next day or so. I have advanced the quilt further than it shows in this pic, but you'll see that in the next ones.
Ok... this is what I found out today while working on the quilt....
1. I don't have that much batting left ( and it was a twin size - I expected more to be left)
and 2. I have even less backing than batting...
but there's enough of both and that's all I need. Once I finish the 'blocking' with the black thread, I'll be switching to celery green, orange, blue and red threads... and, since I don't have a yellow in Glide thread, I'll probably use the off white that I have instead. Still not sure what I'm going to quilt in all those colored rectangles - started to call them sashing, but that's what the black fabric is and I did wishbones in those.
I'm not sure if I'm going to get a lot of quilting done tomorrow; I really need to do some more cleaning in my sewing room to prepare for the live quilt along with Angela Walters on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Going out to dinner with our local family on Sat. night... not sure how that's going to work with the quilt along- oh well, I'm sure it'll work out.
Ok, I'm going to go play with Mo'e for a few minutes before Buddy and I head to bed.
take care...
