Come Virtually Quilt with me Today - 4/15
#61
boy, was today a goof or what? I thought I'd sew all day and garden some. But I'm totally pooped though did a bunch of yard work. Yesterday, I finished the top of the quilt I wanted to work on today. I wish I had a camera handy but I don't...Now, I need to dye more fabric cause I'm about 200 inches short of binding. I usually don't under=dye but I didn't figure on scalloping the edges so now I need more. And, the other planned to work on project just isn't calling me today. So, I'll do handwork later in the evening.
I've been working on this for a few hours and just got finished:

I'm late joining because I just got home. I had not planned to do any quilting today; but all of you have inspired me. I realized that I had fat quarters to make a "Yellow Brick Road" quilt in beautiful pinks and greens. I am cutting it out and, hopefully, can start joining pieces before the day is over. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
awww some days are just like that. I hope you start feeling better!!

I am still plugging along with my binding, I do not think I can handle doing the whole thing right now, so I think I'll finish this one last thread and go work on something else for a bit. We'll see. I have to have it done by next weekend, which i should be able to do pretty easily.
Can't wait to see pics from everyone on what they got done today!!
Cheers!

Just took a break (to press seams!), and check on everyone's progress. I need six more blocks and I think it will be large enough. I mis-sewed a bunch of blocks, but figured out a way to use them by adding singles on each side of the two -- proud of myself on that one. Thought I was being careful after that, but mis-sewed 3 more. It's starting to look good (on my living room floor).

Did my last post get "lost"??? If so, I messed up on a bunch of blocks, but figured out how to use them as is. I've got the blocks lying on my living room floor and they are starting to look pretty good, if I do say so myself. I need to make 6 more blocks, then start sewing them together.

Here's my progress for the day. I'm really happy with how it is going together. Before I sew them together I will adjust them so there aren't matching strips too close together. But, for now the layout is to let me see the pattern. I hope you day went well.....

Well, I started without you. I have finished two block for the Boomerang 7 block swap, a bow tuck bag (for me, I always give them away, but this one is mine.) Taken a nap and now back up there for more blocks.
