I don't usually get much sewing done during the weekend as I'm doing family things. This weekend was no exception.
I decided on the backing and border for my Amish quilt top. It is basted and ready for quilting. If only I could decide how to quilt this. I think I am going to hand quilt it, but what color thread and what pattern, I have no idea. Help me, please!
I managed to sew one long strip of my LOVE quilt. I'm taking it one block at a time and deciding which fabric to use as I go along.
There are only six days left in February. I know I will not meet all my February goals, but I'd like to make one Dear Jane block by then. Actually, if I accomplish that I will have met all my goals but one. That's not too bad considering I worked on some projects not listed as goals.
Time to get back to work. Have an amazing day!!!
There are a couple of very easy DJ blocks that you could finish in no time!
ReplyDeleteFor quilting ideas, have you looked at the Flickr group called Modern Quilting Stitches: Life Beyond Stippling? There might be some ideas there. The Amish quilt is so, so fantastic.
