Then it was on to constructing the Summer quilt along top that I completed the blocks for yesterday.
Right off the bat, there's a boo-boo...
I started sewing the pinwheel and beachball row to the wrong piece... it was supposed to be sewn to the white sashing strip. Luckily, I caught my goof in the second block and was able to quickly correct it. Here it is up on my design wall.... up above it, you can see the back of the puppy/kitty quilt that I had to pin up so that I had room for the Summer quilt.
which is on the LA frame now... it's basically completed, but I think I want to put something in the sashing strips... still thinking on it.
After I finished as much as I did, I went on to make binding for both this quilt and the puppy/kitty quilt and pieced backing fabric for the puppy/kitty quilt while I contemplated what, if anything I wanted to put in the sashing strips. I have an idea, but I'm going to sleep on it tonight and see if I still want to do it tomorrow.
Then, I worked on a BOM that's been neglected for several months. It's an applique' that I was not using fusible web with; I was drawing out the pieces onto freezer paper then ironing them onto the fabric pieces, cutting them out and then using glue to fuse them to the background before I stitched them down. Well, I just want to get this thing DONE, so now I'm tracing onto fusible web in hopes that it will go a little quicker... I have blocks 1-4 and 6 done already... with blocks 5 and 7-9 to go. #5 is what I traced tonight and I hope to get it all fused down tomorrow... might even get some stitching done, too... we'll see.
Ok bedtime...
take care...
