Stripes

I posted the center of this quilt months ago and this weekend got the borders attached and yesterday quilted it. Now I still must bind it but I thought it was time I posted something quilt related so here it is. For my own quilting I've been doing my hand applique on my Flower Pots - just a few more circles and I'll have the panels and borders ready to go.Here is a close up. It's one of those that really looks better from a distance but it was fun making all the circles and loosely following the stripes. Soon it will be a QUILT and not just random pieces floating around in my sewing room!!

Sweet Home BOM

I thought if I put my blocks together that I had appliqued and pieced then maybe I'd feel farther along on this project than I really am - LOL! Unfortunately, it was a slight challenge just to get them to come out the right sizes. Guess I've been hand appliqueing too long for precise piecing. But, I specialize in 'making things work,' so again, not so bad from a galloping horse. I think another block will be ready to pick up tomorrow at the shop.
