roseOfsharon, I've fallen behind myself so don't feel bad, this isn't a race, so no rush! It will get done and look beautiful! Kind Regards, MaryAnna PS. Yes, I'm working on May's row tonight. :| |
ligia, your quilt is looking awesome! Great bow ties!
Kind Regards, MaryAnna |
Sharon,
You will do just find - just PM any of us if you need some help...we are just a message away...same goes out to anyone who needs a bit of help!!!! JUST SHOUT :-) Bill |
Hi everyone,
Thanks !!! :-) |
I finished May's row late last night...real late, or early this morning! I'll post when I get the June row done.
My question is: is anyone else running out of background fabric? I'm down to just shy of 3/4 of a yard left and had a thought. I'm thinking I'll have to do a scrappy background for my quilt; perhaps June, July & August done with another background as my background fabric will run out before we're done. Has anyone else run into this situation? Any suggestions? Thanks! Kind Regards, MaryAnna |
Yes, I am running out of fabric also. I started a new fabric. Going for the scrappy look.
|
I would have MaryAnna, but I saw that Bill had said we might run short back in February (thinking),so I went straight out and bought more of the same material! So I am thinking I am ok for the duration.
Your idea does sound interesting though! Sharon :) |
Yes, I was afraid earlier on that I would run short...I posted my fabric here and someone actually found it for me so I ended up with another yard or so..so I should be ok....
Just an idea - but I have a storage box for this project alone..and any fabric that I use in any of the blocks - no matter how small..even from my scraps..it's all going back into this box - all of the balance pieces....I figure that during the quilt top experience, I may be able to use the same fabric somewhere else ..but mainly I am thinking that perhaps at the end of it all..the extra pieces may be useful to piece together a pieced or piano key border, etc....and it will bring the colors used in the quilt rows into the border and they will coordinate well with each other.... Just an idea.... :-) |
OooOoooo cool idea Bill! I may have some of each left myself! Are we to make up our own border for this quilt top once we have finished with the rows??
