I am still working on my frolic! Got sidelined by covid panic at work, a broken computer, and gardening season. I have a goal to finish the top this month--I am really close to finishing it. My last day I off I finished the border strips with the HSTs, just have to sew them onto the quilt center. I am still debating if I want to add another thin neutral border around that so I can use a flanged binding without cutting off points.

Thanks for the kind words, Suern3. I thought those hand dyes would be easier to work with than they were -- asides from the problems of getting the dyes fixed, I never would have thought I would care so much on which side was "right". I was wrong!
Bonnie has a distinctive style, I also have a bit of a style and the two don't quite mesh... but I really loved her directions other than the keeping it a mystery part. I think I can learn a lot of I do it again this year and use it as a good way to press my seams to the side, instead of my usual open. I will choose safer and easier fabrics to work with, or at least ones with definite fronts and backs. All through this year with Covid lock downs I've had a hard time getting my own projects started -- but I can react and respond to something like this. And good going, Origamigoldfish -- as I recall, you have some origami or at least goldfish fabrics in your project?? |
I’m still slowly enjoying working on Folic. Steps #4 & #6 slowed me down. I finally marked all the pieces so I can make the flying geese and 1/2 hst. I do like the colors and pattern. That is my motivation to finish before end of October. I’m making a king size refigured to fit my bed. So that means making more blocks.
Have fun sewing everyone. |
Looks beautiful, so soft..I have mine sandwiched just waiting. Been thinking about the serpentine stitch too,I want something easy for domestic janome.

I finished my top today five minutes before I had to run out the door to work, hopefully pictures tomorrow. I think I have decided against adding another border, but I will think about it for a few days first. Now I just have to decide how to quilt it! |
So my Frolic top is finished! I ordered backing fabric a few days ago and it may take a couple of weeks to get here. That's fine with me. I have a couple of quilts waiting to be quilted and I will work on those. Frolic will just have to get in line!

Here's a couple of pictures of my finished top:

I just looked through the finishes and partial finishes and they look so nice!
I don't know why I dislike mine so much. It's in a heap in a spare bedroom. I need to get it out and do something with it. I'm thinking maybe if I have it longarmed I may like it better. I definitely won't tackle it myself. But just maybe that will help? I'm still glad I made it though. I had some much fun with all of you :) |
Origami - that is just beautiful! Love your finish!
