Oh I could tell you a story about this project for February. LOL...
it goes from cutting the main fabric. Making mistakes and redoing it. Cut the other fabric 3 times (couldn't get the size I wanted), then found out that I marked the fabric wrong so had to erase the markings. Not a problem. All water solvent so no big thing. THEN noticed that the towel I used to get rid of a stubborn one had some color on it. OOPS!

Took the fabric and washed it and set it out to dry.

This morning I ironed it.
As I was ironing it, it dawned on me that I shouldn't have marked that fabric anyway. The actual fabric that I need to mark was sitting over in the corner of the room. THAT fabric I know needs to be prewashed so that is on the agenda tonight.

Adventures in Quilting!!!

I'm partnered with McQuilter (Sue) again. I'm almost finished with my Feb project. Just finishing the binding on a table runner that I really like -- I have one block left over that I will use to make one for myself. -- I'll post the back fabric when I take pix.

We leave Destin, FL on Sat morning and won't get to Olympia til the 10th or so of March so I will have to pass on March. I'll be busy making curtains and buying furniture for the new condo out there.

On the way west we will be visiting quilters that I have never actually seen but beeen friends with for over 10 years.

How great that you get to see some quilting friends. I recently got to meet some and had a great visit.

Well now, Dream56 i have 2 blocks done so far, not many i know for being a miniature block, but they are fiddly, have you found that out yet. LOL. :)

They are alittle more touchy in miniature.

Too bad you didn't take a photo - we love seeing finished items. You are one the ball getting your item completed - hope you had fun.
