sneak peek

ok, so here is the finishing fabric for my little 3" shoofly blocks.  it's a darkish poison green that i think sets off these little gems very nicely.  i saw this color combo in a book and wanted to try it so i judiciously made a little quilt rather than something larger.  with all my other projects, this one will take enough time to finish.  **** tomorrow i want to get started on finishing the blue cheese piece also; remember, the cheddar/blue bow ties?  it'll have a 1" finished outer border and then a blue/cheddar sawtooth border.  then i will baste and quilt and call it a finish.  ***** also on the agenda this weekend is more on "just takes 2" which is sorely needed.  i did get one more unit done but i'm still way behind on this project.  ***** and as usual, busy quilting away on the amish pinwheel.  plenty more to do since i added the swirly feather pinwheels to the center of the gray areas, but it really needed more quilting and it's soooo delicious to quilt with a wool batt.  i'll probably get it done just in time to pack away in the cedar chest until fall.

  1. Yes -- the green has enough blue in it to really set off the blue in the blocks. Nice!

  2. Always such a busy woman!! The green looks so good with your shoo-fly blocks. That is going to be a winning little quilt. I love it already! : )
