Tomorrow I'm off to the Festival of Quilts. Yippee! Can't wait!
In the meantime, here's what I've been up to:
1. Continuing with my hexagons. I have decided to go with scrappy rings rather than single colours and it's looking rather lovely. Will post pics once I have the next round of hexies on.
2. More hand quilting of my Jacob's Ladder quilt. I am now more than a quarter of the way through!
3. Added the denim border to my Gee's Bend style corduroy quilt top:
It measures about 38 x 40 inches now, so not quite lap quilt size. I have a couple of legs of jeans left, so might add a border to just the top and bottom. I think if I make it any bigger it will be too heavy to pick up :-). I don't think I will quilt it as such. I was thinking of backing with an old fleece blanket then using yarn to tie it.
4. I was stricken by guilt that it had been so long since I made any Morsbags, so knocked up half a dozen:
I particularly like the kitchen print,although understandably, Waif has claimed the skateboarding Morsbag.
Until next time...zzzzzzz....
Wow, I love your Gee's Bend-type quilt. It looks very authentic. Yes, that will be heavy and warm, and I think tying it is perfect. Great job!
