Already moving into month three of 2023 and
I still have a few RSC 22 hanging around.
I think it is time to finish them up!
I've been really stalled on the borders.
A friend on zoom gave me the solution for
making the many piece border fit to the
rest of the top. She suggested to adjust the
middle of the border. A squeeze and ease
near the corners would show and be noticed
but always adapting in the middle would make
it a design element and be more deliberate. So that is where
I'll be adjusting these two. Then if I can get them off to
the long armer ( I still have a few quilts left on my punch card)
I can actually have a few finishes before summer.
Here I go! First up a good measure , both sides and center.
Then, check the border. Each of these two tops has a
zig zag border made of all the left over half squares I could find.
It also could be called flying geese units too. First I'll need to
organize my table. It is a catch all sometimes and
it is loaded this week.
All my blocks to be joined landed on it!
The blue log cabin:
The pink log cabin
The older UFO log cabins that need zinger sashings:
and a big bin of fabrics from a friend to use and share!
There goes my stash tracking count! I picked up a few items
from the give and take table too!
My name is "State your name" and I'm a fabriholic!
Back to the stars.
Two side borders are attached. Each top will have a
zig zag border but of course I will make them slightly
different. Here is the first.
making progress.
The first corner is looking like this:
I admire how much you've gotten done + using scraps!
ReplyDeleteThank you. A frugal attitude and friends with scraps makes me a happy quilter!
DeleteYou have a lot going on there and it looks so fun. I can't get enough of scrap quilts. I look forward to seeing how they end up.
