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.
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!!!
