I have been known to say that "closeness only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades". I'm not playing horseshoes nor with hand grenades, but I am close to completing the 2nd top of the t-shirt quilts.
First, I'll show you the practice piece that came out so well that it can be used in another quilt... which one, I'm not sure.
And here is the actual block in the quilt top, which has been waiting for this before it gets sewn into a 'flimsy'.
I loaded a different quilt top onto Mo'e thinking that I could get it done before the stenciling supplies arrived but it took me a couple of days to try and figure out HOW I wanted to quilt it. Once I figured out HOW, I started but didn't last long - darned legs were hurting AGAIN arghhh! I got one complete row done ( which is actually three rows done at the same time) and 2/3s of the second one done but then had to call it quits. That was the day before yesterday.
After I finish quilting the purple strips with purple thread, I'll go back and use the same quilting design on the white using white thread. I have six more 'rows' to finish in the purple.
And that's it for now... MAYBE by Sunday or Monday night, I'll be able to post that this quilt is off from Mo'e and that Molly's quilt top is loaded and ready to quilt. MAYBE.
take care.....
STAY SAFE....

That's a really cool train stencil! Great idea for the t-shirt quilt. We had so many t-shirts when my dad passed away, but I do not enjoy making t-shirt quilts, so we boxed them up and gave them to my brother (along with the name of someone I know who does like to make t-shirt quilts). Don't think he's done anything with them yet, but that's for him to decide. How nice of you to make the memory quilts for the grandkids. I'm sure they will treasure them! Also, thanks for the nice comment on my blog. Your set as a "no reply" blogger, so I came here to visit and enjoyed reading! :)
