Bill 'rescued' this table and yesterday I decided it was going to get repaired or removed from the garage! I tightened all of the joint screws and then painted the wrought iron. I painted the top portion with grey paint and will now sand the top to give it a driftwood look. I think the legs need about 2" cut off so that the table is level with the window ledge. There are rubber stoppers in the bottom so that I can replace them when the leg is sawed off. I am pleased with the look!
When it began to rain, I decided to add the two rows of blocks (to the top and bottom) with the similar but different print. Since the original 'kit' from QOV Day was for fewer rows, I have improvised with at least the top and bottom different but matching.
I will piece the blocks and finish seaming all of the rows today.
I like the look of this--it is 56" by 72" when completed.
It will need borders to the sides
because I like to make these quilts in a generous size.
I hope to apply the binding to the other QOV I finished recently.
It is supposed to rain again today
so I need to make good progress on the piecing!
You sure have some interesting projects! I love the fabric you've chosen for the binding of the QOV quilt; it's perfect.
ReplyDeleteYou just reminded me of all those wrought iron railings I need to be painting in the foyer. The paint's been sitting here for months but I keep finding one excuse after the other not to do it.
ReplyDeleteThat new quilt is amazing. I had to take a close look at the block to figure out how that all came together.
As always you put me to shame with your productivity! Great save on the table, and I agree, a few inches shorter calms my OCD! LOL. Lovely hats and your top is awesome.
