Lots of tops ready for layering
and the first step is choosing the backings!
So, here is the line up so far!
I was gifted a bin of yardage bundles and
after a good sort, backing fabrics are almost aligned.
Six of the stash busters quilts
are ready so here are starters for their backings.
A few may be a little lacking in yardage but some
matching bits will finish them up.
The last one to be finished up was the orange.
It turned out well and used up quite a few scraps!
but I am not sure if I'll get to a
teal Irish Chain on top of all the layering!
A coincidence tho, August's color is orange ! Yay!
All these lovely orange squares can get quilted up this month!
My goal is to get some quilting complete!
First will be the 2 triangle rainbow squares.
One is already on the table, and after a false start at
pinning when I positioned the backing the wrong way,
it will be ready for quilting tonight!!
I also managed to drop all the pins onto the carpet during the
repositioning of the top.
There were some handy picker uppers in my notion stash
that worked to clean up the mess.
Here is the winner !
Then I will pin up one of the Irish chains.
I haven't considered any quilting design for them yet .
There maybe some fans and concentric rings in the future!
My pinning is going even easier since my
DH came across some of my favorite clamps at the home store.
So excited that I can clamp down
all sides of the backing! My magnet tool can even pick them up!
All these great tools made for a productive weekend.
The last of the three crazy log cabins is all
quilted and bound.
The first of the rainbow string square tops is
under the needle today!
The second rainbow top is pinned up, just choosing
some thread.
The orange Irish chain is the also in the
line up. It was pinned late in the evening as
the last act of defiance before I stumbled off to bed!
