and they're off! this is my first finish of 2012, right off my UFO list. i finished the binding last night and dunked it in cold water to remove the quilting lines. even the yellow chalk came off, which is a very good thing! this will go in my pile of finished items that i'd like to sell at some point. only 27 to go. i also spent time quilting on the center diamond last night, since the weather is now officially frigid--albeit the ground still green as a shamrock. that's right, we are still "sans snow" for which the snowmobilers and skiers are all now on prozac, but those of us who hate to drive in the stuff are happy as proverbial clams!
I like your finish, Grace, and am glad your yellow chalk lines came off. Was it not a Fons and Porter yellow chalk pencil? : )
ReplyDeleteWhat are the dimensions on your finished quilt and where do you sell your stuff?
We are snowless and still warm. In the 40s and 50s in January--unheard of in northern Utah--and last month was the driest December on record. A friend was visiting us last night who drives snowplow in the winter and he was golfing yesterday. As much as he loves to golf he said he would rather have it snow and be able to earn his living. But I'm with you--I don't like driving in it!
Cute quilt! Congrats on the first finish of the year. =)
