A Thousand Years

 Wow, I still have trouble waiting!  

It feels like forever when I am looking forward to an event. 

Well, another retreat is around the corner and we 

have an additional Grandson!  Yay us!

I've snagged two more projects for the 

retreat to do list. Both are itsy pieces. 

The first is a border for the "Square Dance"

center I have already  made.  



The center is a good size (79") so the border 

will be a row of 2 1/2" squares with 

a strip of white on either side. 

Last weekend's retreat produced 

a portion of joined squares for the border.


I used the stop and go method to get them sewn. 

One pair at the start and end of another block and 

some piecing done instead of cutting threads! 

Bonus all around! I'll work on more next retreat!

It should finish almost  84" square 

which is my go to size. 

The other project is another border. 

 This one is for a SAL from APAQ 2019


The center is 62 1/2"complete but  

a late night sewing produced a pieced border 

that is 14" too wide, sending the project into

driveway covering size!  

I will make an 8" or 10" border to finish the top at around 84".

Now I have a beautiful, "Border" quilt top to make from 

the too wide border strips! 


 

It will get a mottled-reads as solid-colored vertical sashing, 

to finish about 66" wide for a great twin sized quilt. 

Both of these projects will tag along to the next retreat. 



Looks like I'll have to find some more pins, 

or maybe do some quilting!!!

Finished or Not Friday
