How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? I don't know, but I just love the Tootsie Roll/Pop print fabric in this quilt top. This is for the Disappearing 9 Patch quilt along that Julie Cefalu is hosting over on her blog, The Crafty Quilter. If I've done a disappearing 9 patch before, it would have only been one block... I know I've done an entire quilt with disappearing 4 patches, but not with 9 patches - until today.
Not only is the top done, but I also prepped black cotton for the binding, made the label AND measured, cut and stitched the backing fabric. It's all ready to be loaded onto Moe's frame tomorrow. I just have to figure out what threads to use.. the backing has a black background with little tootsie roll characters dancing around. I don't want to use black on the top when it's main color appears to be white.... and yet, I don't want white on the back either... hmmm....I may end up using a silver gray for both. I'll audition it tomorrow to see how I like it. I don't even know HOW I'm going to quilt it... guess I'll try and do an edge to edge... something I say just about every time but then find myself custom quilting.... that shouldn't be a problem here... nothing that I want to stand out or emphasize.
Tomorrow, I also want to do my RSC for this month... PINK! I think I have enough of that color in my scrap bin. Then, I think the next new thing I want to work on (other than Mo'e) is the table runner that I bought yardage for when I visited Cassie's shop earlier this week. I've had the charm pack that goes with the yardage for I don't know how long - which is a good reason to use it. If I remember right, it won't use all of the charm squares, but I might be able to use the rest in a bag like the ones I was making last year.
Anyway, I'm starting to ramble....
take care....
