borders

 Day 7 of January and I have not bought any fabric - This is a big deal for me. I wonder when the shakes will stop. Of course, I haven't been anywhere, but, I know how to use the submit now button on a website. I have at least 2 feet of floor cleaned up and vacuumed back from my sewing machine. For as nice as it feels, why can't I remember to keep it that way. I am barely energetic enough to sew. I have been trying to finish the gazillion hourglass blocks for rhododendron mystery. I thought I would not ever get to sew anything else. But, I added the inner border to my drunkards path quilt.

I opened a big bucket of scraps and took a deep breath and put the lid back on again. sigh...

Today my Friday group will meet again after the holidays. It has been 3 weeks and I sure have missed it. But, I was also not well enough to go.

too many circles

This project is from 2012 when we had a local quilt shop in town. They held this quilt as a free block of the month. I had all the blocks at the end of the program done, but didn't decide how to put it together, so it went to the time out closet. I used a random number generator for this ufo project. It is time to make some decisions.

I apparently planned a sashing but there is no other piece of that fabric. There is a pretty aqua fabric in the box, that I might use.

I made these little drunkards path blocks for the border. I am using this Ufo as the 5th quilt in my 5 quilts plan. I am really looking forward to playing with this quilt again. I was really excited that I had attempted this classic block when it was offered.

row x row in green

My favorite kind of green. The poppies came with the house 30 years ago, and they bring joy every year. We used to call the purple flower sweet william, but, we found out we were wrong, but, now, I can't remember the real name. They pop up wherever they want and smell so good.

The row x row quilt doesn't call for dark green, but, there are two rows of lime green. I did the first row in January. I decided to do the second row this month to move it along.

I like to sew it with the square piece on top. I pin the center and the end, but, I don't pin the beginning, since, I get it right under the needle.

The pattern calls for green circles and white background, but when I cut them in January, I cut the white and the green on all of the die cut pieces. so it gave me the opposite for this row.
