Remember this beauty? Well, I've got the set-in triangles marked for quilting and I know how I'm going to quilt the blocks. The backing is pieced, pressed and ready to be layered. I'll run to my LQS for batting today and hopefully get this pin-basted and maybe a start on the quilting tonight. This is my FNSI project this month. It is also my APQ 2017 UFO Challenge quilt for this month - #12: Dresden Stars by Edyta Sitar. I can do this!
I attended an all-day retreat a couple of weeks ago. Remember the previous retreat I discovered that I was short 5 blocks? At this retreat I finished those last 5 pesky blocks to the Vintage Roses quilt. Then I thought all I had to do was sew them together but I got to looking at the pattern and discovered there is a pieced border. Thankfully it doesn't look too difficult -- just scrappy.
I think that will do me for this post. I'll be back tomorrow to let you know how far I got on my FNSI/APQ 2017 UFO Challenge quilt!
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Now get YOUR act together and join us tonight after your delicious corned beef & cabbage dinner!
Wow - both projects look great! I love,love, LOVE your Vingate Roses! I remember when you started that - I had a brand new puppy at home and couldn't do the workshop. That one is still on my "someday" list! Happy St. Patrick's Day and good luck getting lots accomplished tonight!
ReplyDeleteLet's hope I get Vintage Roses completed before your "puppy" has to be put on Senior Dog Chow! Haha!
DeleteOhhh, can't wait to see a pieced border on it! I have 80/20 in my shop if you ever need some...
ReplyDeleteI will certainly keep that in mind. I actually found some 80/20 in my stash so didn't even need to leave the house! Score!
