Monday through Wednesday morning

This was Monday's project that I thought was going to take a long time... working on it off and on during the day, it went faster than I thought it would.  The photo directly below shows what was left at the end of Monday... Just two rows of the 'arrows'/chevrons along with a sashing row and the border.  I finished the quilting yesterday (Tues.) morning and it's been trimmed, but I haven't decided what to use for binding so now it will just sit.

                                                             

 this is showing how I quilted the 'sashing'... I didn't do any quilting in the chevrons.. just a row of stitching on each side of each chevron and one right through the middle of each white strip.  Large piano key borders on top and bottom - or each side, depending on how you hold it.

 After finishing the trimming, I took a short nap and when I woke up, there was a package sitting on my desk chair.  FedEx had delivered the backing fabric for the quilt below.

 It's been pieced with the yard and a half I already had and loaded onto Mo'e along with the batting and the top.  Here it is with some basting - across the top and as far as I could go on each side without turning.  I've also stitched along the inside edge of the border.
  It was about that time that I decided that I'd better quickly order some more magna Glide bobbins and another small cone of Glide rust.  I thought if I got the order in before closing yesterday, there was a chance that I could get my order by the weekend.  Shortly after I ordered though, QuiltedJoy ( my Glide supplier) came onto facebook and announced that they would be closed today due to the freezin' temps.  They're in Kentucky! - I didn't realize this frozen He** was spreading that far south.
I guess I can only hope that it was packed up and shipped out last night - I don't think it was, but a gal can hope.

Rust is not the only color I'll be using for this quilt, but it's going to be one of the major ones and I MIGHT have enough on the cone but I only have one full bobbin left.

Ok, I've stalled long enough... time to get my hinney out of this chair and do SOMETHING!

take care....
