HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!
I had a fun weekend of sewing ! I worked on all 6 of my alternating blocks
And..................... Cut all the rest of my fabric I need for the sashings , borders and triangle blocks
I just need to cut my 5 .5 " strips for my border which is the red floral fabric on the left. The fabric on the right is my backing fabric
The alternating blocking have these little applique teardrops , 8 on each block making a total of 48 teardrops in the fabric you see on the right. I plan on invisible machine appliqueing those
I also finished sewing on my binding on my SWOON and plan on sewing that at night. Just perfect time of year to sew on binding on COLD nights !
WISHING EVERYONE A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!
Such gorgeous fabrics for this stunning quilt!
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty! I have to agree that having a quilt to bind on a cold evening is perfection. It sounds like you'll end the year wonderfully! Happy New Year!!!!
ReplyDeleteTwo beauties! Stunning!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Sue!
Both are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteTwo beauties! I've enjoyed seeing your progress on these quilts.
ReplyDeleteThis is my kind of weekend, Sue! How exciting to have both nearly finished! Sitting is sewing the binding is my favorite part!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Gorgeous fabrics, I also love invisible machine applique.
ReplyDeleteWow! I LOVE your Swoon quilt. It looks awesome in those colours and fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I may have to shamelessly copy your Swoon color scheme. I don't know if I will be able to find that much Rouenneries fabric still, but French General has very similar colors in their later collections too. It is so, so beautiful! Very jealous!
