I made the commitment to finish a UFO a month. LOL Finished I Spy in July, but did not post. Plus I have a two tops ready to sandwich.
Thanks to all of you who made suggestions on the sashing and borders on my blue and yellow BOM quilt. Found another yellow/gold small print in my stash that worked for the boarders and cornerstones. Will use blue binding and the light yellow for the back.
When I pulled the hexagon I Spy quilt out, I found that I had enough blocks. It took a lot of pinning and I still had trouble getting seams to line up. Did SID quilting which made a neat star pattern on the fleece back. I used Pandora's Box templates. I could not find the directions for finishing the edged on the irregular ends. I did not want to cut the blocks off to have a straight boarder. So I added a black hexagon on the the long strips and a black boarder on the sides. I was really pleased with the binding. I sewed it on the back first and used a decorative stitch on the front. I will give it to my youngest GS for his third birthday.
I had the horse fabric well over ten years. The D9P was quick and easy. Had trouble getting the flange even.
Whew! One done and Two ready for quilting.
Will start with the blue and yellow one since it lost a lot of its points when I sized up the blocks. I have done FM on only three other small quilts. They were okay, but I still have a lot to learn!
