the red/cream is finally at the flimsy stage. i finished piecing the piano keys and adding the inner border last night, but didn't attach the keys until this morning. tomorrow i might pull out the folding table and get this basted and tied so i can move on to the binding. that would give me another UFO finish this year, which is always good. **** last night i also finished all but one of the letters on my halloween piece. i am hoping to finish the wallhanging in time for the 31st, a good possibility. **** next machine project? my autumn change top; fall colors in a great scrappy quilt. this is earmarked for a gift when completed. hand projects are the halloween piece and one of my amish quilts, hoping to finish at least 1 before the end of the year....or maybe before thanksgiving? now that's a stretch but could be, could be.Saturday, October 22, 2011

Grace, it's beautiful! I just finished a red/white quilt - just something about the combination that I love. I'm furiously working to finish up a (well, two, one for my DIL too) Halloween hangings this weekend, so I can hang it before Halloween!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful finish! You should be pleased.
ReplyDeleteThis turned out beautifully; the piano keys are the finishing touch!
ReplyDeleteThe red/cream is outstanding! Great finish.
ReplyDeleteI love this, Grace. What a lot of effort--so many small pieces, right down to the border. You should be very pleased!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks delightful. Well done on your FNSI progress, oh and getting back to it in the morning to finish that top.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
I love red n' white quilts but this one is absolutely awesome. Do you have any reds left in your stash?
ReplyDeleteI saw the blocks when you first started them, loved them, forgot where I had seen them, hey ho... that happens to me a lot! ha ha ha. I mentioned to my mum how lovely they were, we looked up the block pattern... she made a lovely, yet completely different quilt... I'm thrilled to see yours finished... it's fantastic... this time I saved the link so I can look back! Do you mind if I link to your photo from my blog?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a productive FNSI. Your red and white quilt is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGrace, your quilt is just stunning! The piano key border finishes the quilt perfectly, much better than a plain border. You are a inspiration. BTW, if you need any fall fabrics, let me know. I have more than I will ever use! Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is beautiful! Great job! Thanks for sharing! Have a Great Day! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! That is gorgeous!! Was just blog surfing the FNSI links this morning (I'm a little slow-ha). I just love red & white! I'm a new follower. Nice to *meet* you. :o)
