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!
