The Cardinal Quilt was off the frame and I needed to load up another quick one and lighten the to-do pile!
This quilt was on and off the frame in a flash because I used a simple stipple pantograph!
The binding is finished and it should be completed in no time!
While I was working in the Studio, Bill was painting that sheetrock and giving it some color to match. The wall turned out great but the ceiling is too new looking-it sure doesn't take many years to yellow a kitchen ceiling; I need to burn something and make some smoke! lol
When I was ready to sew on the binding, I didn't like the red after all!
I will wait and get some grey when I go to the store on Thursday.
As much as I want this finished, I don't want to make it less than it can be just to complete it!
I want to gift this to my daughter (shhhh! don't tell her!) and I want it just right!
I am also adding a scrap block using the same LeMoyne star Accuquilt die as the center block of each row of the RSC2017 quilt. I had to dig in the basket to find some scraps to make the purple blocks!
I'm glad the trash wasn't emptied in there so I could!
And then I cut out pieces for the 8 blocks I will make in the color-of-the-month, Sea Greens!
During Tuesday's knitting, I started a pair of shorty socks for Marsel in the same yarn I used for mine; one nice thing about making these is that I will be able to get two pair from one big ball!
Does anyone else use the cardboard form with stats for making socks?
I have a new idea to try with these but more tomorrow on that!
I've never used a form - but that's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteOooooh, your daughter will be sooo very excited when she finds out that she's is going to own the cardinal quilt!!!!!? But I won't tell her...
ReplyDeleteSame with the socks. She must be spoiled...
What is it about a star block that makes it so striking, in any color or pattern?!
That's a great idea for socks. I need to make one for all the men. I can get the ladies in the family's size right but the men are always a problem.
ReplyDeleteI love your cardboard stats idea!!! I can usually guess my own size and my family . Still I have been wrong and this looks easy enough. The quilt will be perfect. I admire your patience to get it right!!
