Oldies continued

 Here's the completed Bora Bora top... just waiting for the 'perfect' backing....

Next up was a quilt that I started for my oldest grandson and his then fiance' ( now, ex wife) about 10 years ago.  The pattern was for a twin size, but I figured it wouldn't be that hard to upsize it to a queen.  This was before I had my 1/4" foot for my DM and before I knew a lot about what I was doing.

I was supposed to make 20 of each block... I managed to make a combined total of 10, but have almost every piece required cut out ( I don't do that any more - I cut as I need).  I have no desire to make a queen size quilt so I think what I'm going to do is make two quilts, each about 60" x 60" with borders.

Last night, I loaded this quilt onto Mo'e with the intention of getting up and getting started first thing this morning.  Well, that didn't happen.  We had a massive thunder storm go through last night and, after my 3 a.m. potty run, I had trouble getting back to sleep.  It was 10:00 when I finally woke up and got up... 1:00 before I could start on the quilting.

I knew I wanted to do something simple so went with large meandering, but found when I got to the bottom of the quilt, it just wasn't 'enough' so I went back and stitched again, making it look more like ribbons.  It's so soft and cuddly... I LOVE IT.

I came within FIVE INCHES of having the binding completed when I ran out of bobbin thread.. and, of course, didn't realize it until I came to the end of the stitching.  Oh well.

Here's my sweet hubby holding up the completed quilt 

and here's the backing.  

Found out today that my daughter down in Tx is requesting some masks for herself and her husband so it looks like I'll be making more tomorrow.  Then maybe I'll get back to working on the current 'oldie'.

take care....
