I'm busy binding - slowly. This quilt was our Saturday Sampler from 2018, actually began in 2017. I can't remember exactly how many months this one extended over but we ended up with a lot of beautiful blocks. We were encouraged to "shop our stash" for this one so I did that for the blocks themselves. I pulled black and whites and lots of brights.
Once I decided to set the blocks on point I did have to buy a few new prints for those alternating blocks because I didn't have enough large enough pieces. And I bought the border and backing fabric too. But the blocks were from stash. I have one whole drawer full of black and white prints. And you know I tend to gravitate toward bright colors, so this one was easy to shop the stash.
It will feel good to knock another UFO off the list. This is a large quilt and I'm a slow binder so it will take me several evenings of TV watching and stitching to get this one done.
The variety of b/w for the alternate blocks enhance the scrappy/bright blocks. Congratulations on an almost-finish!
ReplyDeletecongrats to you, I just keep making more ufo's! I still like most all of them but there's always another squirrel to chase.
