Progress

Do you remember my "Four Patch Plaid" quilt from "Nickel Quilts" by Pat Speth?  

I've added a four patch border and another solid border to it.  It now measures 117 x 117.  Perfect for the king size bed.  The picture currently doesn't show those 2 borders.  It's too wet to take any outdoor pictures.  I'm hoping this weekend.  I won't be quilting it any time soon, but that's OK as the top is done. And for a quilt that started out to be a twin size, it sure grew!

Waiting for Friday to find out which of the last two projects is next, Easy Street or Rick's quilt.  I've been working at cleaning up the sewing room as it really needs it.  I've been thinking about projects for next year as I do a little organizing. Love dreaming and planning for the next quilt.

Starting Time!

I have still been busy helping a friend move all of her household.  The water that has been released from the damn higher up the river should be here by Thursday, so it's nice that she has had some time.  Plus, praying it doesn't ruin her home.

With what I have been doing, I did relax with making two string blocks on Friday.  Yesterday I rearranged 5 inch squares.  I'm thinking it's time to start a nickel quilt.  It will be twin size as I have daybeds that I'd like to have quilts for when company comes.
