The Cat’s Cradle 4-inch block quilt is off the longarm and trimmed and bound. Yeah! Handwork for nightime sewing. Watching a tv series makes me so restless if I don’t have handwork to occupy my hands. I am about halfway done now.
This quilt needs a name. Maybe something like “Ripples.”
I am really loving the lime/aqua backing for this quilt. And the “Bayside” panto laid down lovely texture without taking away from the business in this quilt.
“Parsnips” (Stitched in Color blog sewalong) is done and waiting to be quilted. I have a wow! backing for it. I’m using my bin of 2 1/2-inch cut scraps for this quilt rather than the adorable rectangles Rachel Hauser used. My blocks are larger than Rachel’s and I made the sashing 1/2 inch wider to compensate. And I added that neutral border so I could have the sashing stars go all the way to the edge.
The blocks for the new 8-inch Cat’s Cradle top are done, though I may still be moving them around. I chose solid colors that are in the old Kaffee Fasset fabric to the left of the design wall, which I bought about 20 years ago. I think using the green that’s in the fabric is working really well for the strips that form. I think I have enough of that lucious dark, dark brown for a binding.
“Kites” is now on the longarm and has the cutest Tilda fabric for its backing.
And so it goes…
A granddaughter is graduating high school this morning, so I’m off to help her celebrate.
