Fantastic Friday

Yahoo!!!!  I finished the blocks for the second BB quilt today... just need to do the sashing tomorrow (or Sunday).  There were only about seven left to do, but they turned out to be some of the most difficult ones because I was trying not to do them all the same.  I also didn't want a lot of them the same as the first quilt top... I think I succeeded.

There are a few pictures, but I got to the point that I just wanted to get the blocks done today and stopped taking pics.  I also noticed that one pic I did want to share apparently didn't get saved and now it's gone.  It was a pic of the first Jacob's ladder I did in blue... something looked 'off'... finally I noticed what it was - the upper left hand block was on wrong... I had it with white in the outer corner and it should have been the blue.  I fixed it - after I finished the second Jacob's ladder block ( it was already cut out and laid out on my sewing table).

I also had to add borders to some of the blocks so that they would fit in with the rest - I had to do the same with the first one and will have to do it again with the third one.

 This is the second Jacob's ladder block
 And I finally remembered that I had rickrack in my stash and pulled it out... it worked out pretty good on this, the very last block.




  Tomorrow I'm hoping to get the quilt that's been on Mo'e for MONTHS finished and taken off so that I can load one of the BB quilts on Monday; since I had to order thread for the first one finished and it probably won't even be shipped until Tuesday which means I should get it Friday... I could have the blue one quilted and bound by then.  Here's hoping anyway.

And that's it for tonight...

take care....

What to work on next

 I finished the two gift quilts - and both have been delivered to a parent of the little girl recipient. I have the requested photo from one...
