LAST Christmas, I pulled out all the old blocks and set to work piecing the sashings. I was happy with the flimsy I finished, but I packed it back up with 'to be quilted by this Christmas'.
At 40" square, I thought this would be a wall hanging, but I have been re-thinking it now since it has been on the wall.
I'm considering making this a throw instead, but I really don't want to get back into piecing on it..
Such are the dilemmas.
Meanwhile, other things are going on in The room. (hear that, Sampler? The world hasn't stopped for you!):
(I can't believe I started this, and I know if I allow Mr. Juki to begin another flimsy without finishing his business, he may never want to see this baby hex again...)
The clock is ticking til Christmas...
The Sampler's grand finish has been threatened...
It's lease on the design wall expires on Wednesday,
There they are in pre-starch mode...
I am linking up with Judy at Patchwork Times for Design Wall Monday today, check out more design walls here!
And I am linking with Lyn at What a Hoot...
Lyn hosts BOMs Away!, where I share my Hello Moon and Add-a-Border Block Swap blocks!
I finished my first Add-a-Border 'flimsy' this weekend! Round Four charges us to make a 24" block, but I let it grow a bit since it seemed like a great baby quilt for Christmas. I really loved adding the borders for this one, it came out real sweet...
Ty thinks it is vomit BTW.
What do you think, vomit or art?
What lovely blocks you made, Heidi, "back in the day." You could add some strips top and bottom to make it rectangular and then a border. No more piecing and it's a usable quilt!
ReplyDelete@Libby Smith These blocks have good memories for me, so I am still not sure I wont just hang it. Still, I'll be looking for a simple but nice solution when I audition some border fabrics, maybe it will be a very large wallhanging! Thank you Libby:-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog & commenting! I appreciate it so much. Love your blog! Will have to add it to Mr. Feedly.
ReplyDeleteOh, boy - those hexies do look challenging to stitch all around on a line! Going to be neat, though. And I shook my head and chuckled, because the first quilt I made was in 86, and I had no clue rotary cutters existed (were they around at that time? - probably?) Queen size, all cut out by hand. . . Love your sampler. The setting you made for it is really neat with all the piano pegs for the sashing and the white stars in the intersections.
ReplyDeleteI really love your Christmas Sampler! You've got some really interesting blocks Thanks for sharing!
