Borders on...

Sweet... I love the border on this little quilt. This was a quick and easy project and the borders were definetly the icing on the cake. I am please with this project, now to figure out how to quilt it.

Friday Night, I was SEW THERE...

Last night was the Friday night Sew-in and I have to say, it was a productive night for me. I selected an easy project. All I needed was 2 charm packs and some yardage. I think my pictures will explain the process...









oops...



I still had a few extra charms squares so this was an easy fix.





I managed to get the inner border on before calling it a night. Sometime, this weekend I will get the outer border attached. As for right now... It is beautiful outside and SO and I are off to enjoy it!!! Hope yours is a good one!

Not sure, this is what I had in mind...

I have always had a thing for the classics(I like vintage, antiques, old) and a red, white & blue quilt has been on my list of wants. I am just not sure...I like this quilt. It is very busy. It is somewhat outside my box. But then, just what does the inside my box look like??? I am trying to "experiment" in my quilting journey and try a variety of styles and techniques. I guess this quilt would be considered traditional and I am thinking maybe... I am more contemporary(easier patterns!) but...then I would like to think I like a little bit of everything. After all "variety is the spice of life" right? NO the quilt,is not done, it needs borders(inside border is red/white stripe and outer boarder is a light cream with flower spray, there is already a taupe, navy and blue spray version of this fabric used in the center) but I find myself asking... what was I thinking, do I like this, will the borders help to calm the quilt, should I invest in custom quilting or will it just make it all too busy???? I want something to compliment the quilt. Does anyone have any suggestions or opinions?

Birthday Diddy...

My youngest Grandson is celebrating his 1st Birthday this weekend. I will not be able to attend his party, which is a total bummer. I sent this little diddy in his Birthday package. I was able to finish this up last weekend when my SO and I drove down to Lawton, Oklahoma to attend his youngest sons graduation from Army Boot Camp @ Fort Sill. It was an awesome experience and certainly makes a person proud to be an American.
