Oh , Moving into Negative Numbers

 What a great day for stash reporting!  We are 

fast moving into fall and the wheel chair quilts 

are piling up! Another of my quilting buddies

joined in with a pair done up to give. 

The busy week before my first fall retreat saw 

me getting the remaining tops for donation

matched up with backs.  An afternoon of 

high intensity, and four more are ready for quilting!!



Let's see if they will be done by publishing time!

Sorting out binding for these friendly little quilts, 

was quite entertaining. Two were bordered in a narrow strip 

of black.  Black would be a good match but would it 

do them a favor or diminish their joy? I chose fabrics with a bit color

 fun in them for uplifting bindings!

One has a hint of colored circles and some larger colored bows. 

Trimmed down to binding width and the bows 

will just show as bits of color. 



The other is a binding to match the back and 

keep a more cohesive color pallet. 


It worked well. 

That is a big hint that  five wheelchair 

quilts have been finished! 


That brings my reporting well into the negatives!!

If I count the size of my stash, I still have 

a long way to go!

  1. Congrats on the dip into the negative. That's not an easy goal to hit.
