Another Finish!

Thanks to the kindness of Chipper and Scotty's mom, I was able to complete the Lilac Hill quilt with a non-pieced binding as I had planned...

PhotoBucket has a new photo editor.... a much more complicated photo editor.   

It's going to take me a while to figure out how to use it.  

 In the meantime, photos will be less than stellar.... not that any of my photos were too great...

I'm not sure why this old song popped into my head but I got a quilt name out of it!






The kindness and generosity of my blogging friends never ceases to amaze me. 

Also Back from the LAQ

Yes... I'll be doing binding for a while...

...only "issue" is that I don't have quite enough of the border fabric to do the binding.  I do have a similar amount of the purple inner border... so I may have to have a pieced binding.

I like this "fan" pantograph a lot.

Yup, a lot of binding will be happening this weekend... but I hope to cross both quilts off my UFO list!

 

Complete: Lilac Hill Quilt Top

Between quilts, I forget just how long it takes to sew on borders... and so, I was up later last night than I had planned finishing the quilt top.  I waited til this morning to take a couple of photos hoping that the morning light would result in more "true to life" colors.

Started during the January FNSI and finished last night, the quilt top turned out as I hoped.

 

I'll make the backing today and then pack everything up for a trip to my LAQ over Spring Break (only a week away now!).

Another great FNSI....  looking forward to blog hopping and seeing what everyone accomplished last night!
