written. The longarm is back to humming along,
and the baby quilt, which I've decided to name
"Chocolate Swirl" is finished. And, for the first
time, I'm piecing a backing for it out of what
was left from the top. One of the fun things about
this quilt is that the deep chocolate colour of
the setting triangles, and the cream sashing
and border fabrics are from the fabric I bought
to make Noel and Laurie's wedding quilt.
The chocolate brown is just about the last of
this fabric, and I was able to us the border
strips that I originally cut, that turned out
not to be a good choice for the top And some other fabrics that I bought at the same time as the ones for the top that just didn't quite work with it, but now I can use them up, instead of having them just sitting on the shelves. I have
to add a few more 5 inch strips to the back
to get it up to the right size, then, once
and get it quilted. So, that's my plan for the rest of the day, before I go in for a 3-11 shift at the hospital.
Yay! We can't wait to get the quilt!
