as per usual...

my bad habit, or deficient calculation more like, finds me often lacking a certain needed fabric...and it happened again with s'mores.  i do have some sashing fabric left but alas, not enough to bind.  what to do?  rummage in the stash for something do-able...


close enough....not quite a color match but not too far off the sashing....it's for me, another humble quilt, so i don't mind.  it's definitely snuggle worthy.

i do have a finish, tho....it's the birdhouse project


this idea came from the border fabric pieces, just small scraps that appealed to me.  it's done and needs a wash....dear daughter has already claimed....i do like to do letters now and then, plus busted more fabric, always good.  and on the back....


cleaning out an elfa drawer found a bit of this aunt grace fabric so fussy cut the designs and will use them as quilt labels...

last but not least, a sample block of 'crossed canoes'....


bit of ripping out a couple of times but overall good result...this is NOT a new start but will leave on design wall for now....have to sign off now, cable acting up as per usual....keeps telling me i have no internet connection that i paid for which means nothing to them.

  2. Crossed canoes is gorgeous!
    Love your label idea!
    I use what I already have to finish quilts all the time. It will be perfect. Once it is in the quilt, no one ever questions the choice.

  4. I think the binding looks great. I glad you could find something that matched. The crossed canoe block is a dazzler

  5. I have lots of a mottled gray that would be perfect. Give me your address and I will send it to you.
