The
batik stars are with Janet the longarm lady now. I don’t have a picture of the
entire top together because I had nowhere to hang it to get the whole thing in
the picture. I didn’t want to lay it on
the bed because of cat issues – I know Janet has allergies and I didn’t want to
add to what was already on the quilt top.
I try very hard to keep cats out of the sewing area, but even though I
close the door, I have a little friend (Harry) who is constantly opening it.
It
took me forever to get the back put together.
I pieced the entire thing, so it’s kind of a quilt unto itself. After adding the extra inches, I knew I
wouldn’t be able to just piece it all at once, so I divided it into quarters
and then put them together. Here is a pic
of just one of the quarters –
Believe
it or not, I still have a nearly full tub of batik fabrics, in addition to all
the charm squares. Need to find
something good to do with them all. I
think I will use some of them to make some pillow covers to match the quilts.
For
the next couple of weeks I will be making the binding – which will be white, but it means I will have to put a lot of pieces together. It would be nice to have it all together and
ready by the time I get the quilt back, and I probably have until the beginning
of April because Janet was pretty booked up.
That’s good – I’m sure I will need the time.
The
next big project I will be tackling will be mainly pink, of which I am not a big fan,
but it will be for a special little girl I have been meaning to make something
for quite some time. Layla may be
helping me on that one.
That’s
all for now. Thanks for stopping by!
