Here's a peek at what I was able to accomplish...
I decided on a simple nine-patch block with a double border. I finished cutting out the border strips tonight and have everything separated and ready for shipment. Each block will be completely different, so the one I have completed will not be duplicated exactly. Some of the other little blocks not shown are bright red, turquoise, yellow... and the interior border will be different on most of the other blocks, too. All of the outside borders, tho, will be the green & white polka dot fabric that you see above.
I completed a lot of my hand quilting this weekend, too, on that quilt I started in April. (I sat out on the back patio while I stitched letting the cool breeze & the sounds of birds chirping transport me to far away places!) I will be able to finish with this phase of the quilt this week and contact my instructor so she can show me how to finish the binding.
And, last but not least, I'm also participating in a Quilt-Along with Old Red Barn & Co. Here's a sneak peak of two sets of six strips that I stitched together.
