sparkle top

After considering adding another row to the Christmas sparkle quilt  a free pattern found here. I made more blocks and added to the top before counting it done. But, now, I need to make the decision to add borders. I have plenty of fabric. IT doesn't seem big on the library floor, but, it does at home when I lay it out to decide.


I am always impatient to visit my favorite greenhouse in the Spring. And as a warning to be patient, it was only 47 degrees. We bought asparagus, cabbage, onions, and Jasmine. I have never seen that before as a plant. I tend to have big plans for the garden each year...... for my hubby.



I am looking forward to a guild open sew this Saturday. I have a new project to start.

    I've never planted jasmine. Keep us updated on that. LOVE the colors in your scrappy quilt. They play so nicely together. It's gorgeous.

    Pretty top. I pretty much always add borders because I think quilts looks unfinished without them. LOL

    Fun quilt - I like that you have to lay it out at home to really get the idea of the size! Every so often I will lay a quilt out at the fire station and when I get home - I sorta realize I made it SO huge!!!

    Oh I love Jasmine, be sure to plant it under a window where you can enjoy its scent. Your quilt looks great. Thank you for linking up to Put your foot down.
