The Top is Finished!

I finished the top! It went together like a great puzzle. Thanks to Elaine all the pieces fit! I think one of the reasons I liked this pattern was the colors. I usually do not work in these tones, but something about it shouted “Try me, give me a chance”!
I am so glad I did. She is now marked for quilting and ready to be made into a quilt sandwich.




I was very happy to find out that Joann’s had their thread 50% off; so, nuts! I had to go shopping since some of theses colors I did not have in my stash.



The next step, the hand quilting. I hope to be able to show you the finished project in a few (many) months. Hopefully just in time for fall decorating!!

Have a “sew” filled weekend!

  5. Neat quilt! Thread is almost as much fun to buy as fabric, isn't it?

  6. Yep, buying thread is fun... but then AI got the same thread bug that your niece has. Good matches on the colors, btw.
