Friday Night Sew In: Results


The monthly FNSI snuck up on me but I was able to sign up at the last minute.  I did a stash dive looking for fabric for the backing of the D9P quilt top since I didn't have enough of the "Penelope" prints left to handle a nearly 90" square top.


A long-time friend recently down-sized to a smaller house and gifted me with fabrics she didn't think she would use and one of the pieces was a lovely dusty pink with a tiny tan print.


Despite having five yards, I needed to piece some of my favorite print to make an "L" on two sides of the pink blender fabric.   Not very exciting sewing but it needed doing..... because I want to get it to my LAQ over Spring Break.  





Yes!  Spring Break began for me at 3:15pm yesterday and, while I won't be going to the beach, I will be doing a lot of relaxing...

    Isn't it nice to find a solution within your stash?
    Are you sure you can't make it to the beach? : )

    Piecing backings is never a fun job for me, but as you said, it has to get done! Enjoy your Break!

    I agree piecing the backing is not very exciting sewing but one that has to be done. WooHoo--------Spring Break. Enjoy.
