FINALLY FINISHED!!

I PLAYED AROUND WITH DIFFERENT SIDE FINISHES AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE SAMPLES I MADE.


 I THEN  DECIDED TO ADD A FLANGE ACCENT TO THE FAR RIGHT SAMPLE . SO I HAVE A TOTAL OF THREE FABRICS MAKING MY BORDERS.  WHICH ADDS A TOTAL OF TWELVE AND 1/2 INCHES TO EACH SIDE. 


IT IS DEFINITELY LONG ENOUGH TO GO OVER THE PILLOWS  ,     SO THAT I DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE SHAMS.


 NOW TO FINISH  THE BACK!  IT IS A KING SIZE QUILT.   WILL TAKE TO QUILTER'S LATER THIS WEEK.  GLAD TO BE DONE AND START FRESH WITH SOMETHING NEW FOR THE NEW YEAR.   I WOULD PREFER SOMETHING SMALL.  THERE IS A NEW FREE MYSTERY  THAT LASTS ONLY TWELVE DAYS AND IS ALREADY IN ITS SECOND DAY IF ANY ONE IS INTERESTED!!

Onward!

  I have been doing some more sewing of flying geese, the past couple of days.  I have made some progress as I have about twenty sashings total sewn now.  Here are pics of what I have finished so far. I also got back another lap quilt from the quilter and I have sewn down the binding on the front side. In the evenings I am enjoying hand sewing the back side.   I also purchased some Applipops  , which were a bit on the expensive side($35) and decided to try them for all the circles in this quilt. They are not worth the price in my opinion.  To each his own. I prefer my mylar circle washers, There are many more sizes and easier to use.

Daughter Called

Image
My daughter called and asked if I would make her a couple of quilts! Of course I said yes, I love sharing my quilting with her. She  found a block she liked on pinterest in black,greys and white. I drew out my pattern on graph and began piecing until I got this.... and I found the most perfect soft snuggle backing.... So I now just have to take it to the quilter! I have also put up a small Christmas tree in the living room. I finished a small churn dash quilt of Fig Tree fabrics that I started at retreat in the beginning of November. I also finished my candle in the window log cabin quilt.... I started a few circle  blocks. I am going to use various blue backgrounds with my Kaffe and Tula scraps. All for now,chatter later, Martha.
