I was already to quilt Smith Mountain this morning, but didn't have any of the caramel colored thread I like to use on scrap quilts because it blends so well with most things.
So while waiting for everyone to get up and around I pondered the backing for Sydney's teal crumbs. It is amazing how skinny my stash is getting. Definitely time to do a little shopping! Sydney helped me decide on this collection of black prints which I cut in 10.5 inch squares. I love using things up. So much more satisfying than going to the store and buying a big hunk of generic yardage in just the right color.
Orca Bay is patiently waiting for binding. Maybe teal?
Still haven't made the binding for the Christmas quilt either. I am thinking of the same red from the inner border.
Now the hard part -- deciding what to work on! Bonnie is on with quilt cam, so I'll find something I can do with her.
These quilts are all so yummee. I love the idea of teal binding.
ReplyDeleteDid you see me on Bonnie's blog?!? Wasn't that fun?!?
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could do some binding??? Hint Hint!
You sure are on a roll lately. Good for you. Gotta love using up so much stash that you HAVE to go shopping!!! I only shop when there is a great sale, then I add it to the stash. I have added lots to the stash this year, and done hardly any sewing, so now I need to quit shopping and start sewing. LOL.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are beautiful. Love the pieced backing. They are work, but the make a more interesting quilt. Pretty black prints!
ReplyDeleteYou must be one of the most productive people I know!
ReplyDeleteOh, that was the BACK of the Christmas quilt I saw on your floor. Now I get it. (BTW, I called you back. Did you get the message? And the symphony starts next Saturday, have to talk about that. )
