Isn't this just the cutest little quilt? Not really little... I don't remember what it finished at but it's bigger than 36 x 36". The label is made so all I have left to do is make binding and find a backing. I may even get it quilted this week. YAY!
Yesterday, I went down to a friend's quilt shop to check it out. She's been there since last fall but I just couldn't seem to find time to get down there... and now she's closing :(. I did manage to make a little dent in her vast yardage/bolts of fabrics but certainly not enough to really help her out. I'm hoping that she's going to vend at the quilt show that's coming up in just over a week.. if she does, I can pick up some more fabrics :). Yes, I know I shouldn't, but I do have a couple of patterns that I need fabrics for... and at 40% off, who am I to say no?
These are the fabrics I bought and the pattern I bought them for. I really did not care for her choice of fabrics. The print on the bottom of my stack is what I used for focus fabric to select the other fabrics... I substituted orange for red... and purple just wasn't going to work so I substituted a darker green for it. The pattern is from a craftsy/bluprint class I signed up for - then lost for awhile... now that I've found it again, I want to get at it and get it made. There's also a table runner in this class and yesterday I found a great yardage for the charm square packet I already had. But I'm not going to start on these until I finish the binding (and maybe backing) for the turtle quilt AND get the Hidden 9 patch quilt top finished... all I have to do is press the remainder of the blocks and then cut them and rearrange them on my design wall - then sew them all back together.... hope to be able to have it done by this time tomorrow.... HOPE! We'll see.
Ok dinner is almost ready...
take care....
ttyl.......
And, good luck to everyone who is having problems with facebook and instagram today/tonight.
