Thank you, Judy, for organizing the Quiltathon weekend! I'm up and ready to go!
You see that strip of red Merry & Bright sitting there? That's the ONE border I need to sew on that quilt from last weekend to finish the top. I don't like doing borders, so I've procrastinated all week! LOL.
I need to stay focused and get it done. THEN I can move on. The project I've pulled out to work on is Moda's Collection for a Cause project, Heritage. I picked up this kit from Kimberly at The Fat Quarter Shop a few months back and it's been sitting there teasing me! On New Year's Day when Jane was here, I pulled it out and showed it to her. That was it. I made the commitment to cut it and start sewing those bazillion HSTs this weekend!
When I got home from work last night I read through the pattern. They recommend using 2" finished triangle paper. I pulled out my trusty Triangulations program, and then promptly discovered that I probably didn't have enough ink left in my printer to print them all. So a quick call to the quilt shop to make sure they had the Triangles on a Roll, and then a mad dash over there before they closed. I'm set to go!
But first I have to get that red border on! If not, well, then it'll just sit and sit, and next year this time I'll have it on my UFO finish list! LOL. I know me too well!
I have four quilts that need the bindings machined on. I'll plan on doing those this weekend, too. I'm sure I'll need a break from HSTs at some point! That will give me handwork for next week.
I'm off to sew!!!!!!
Have a fun, fun sewing day!
ReplyDeletefour tops ready for borders? Go for it woman! I hate borders too.
ReplyDeleteC'mon girl get that border on so you can play with all those HSTs! I'm sure glad I'm done with mine!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to stay in my sewing room today too. But, I keep getting interrupted by company. At least it has been good company! :~)
ReplyDeleteI am working on my Simply Sophisticated BOM. I just finished up December's and now I am on to January's. When is the finish date this month? I am on the ball this month. Missed the drawing last month. :~(
Stop reading this. Go and do that border. NOW. It will feel so good afterwards!
ReplyDeletegood luck!
ReplyDeletethis is one quilt I am so sorry I didn't buy the kit for. I looked at it for so long and now its sold out!
I will watch your progress!

I was just looking at your blog and it is so ironic!!! It is January and I am still working on my Merry & Bright quilt too! I am missing the yellow stripes and greens. Somehow they were lost in the sauce and now I am holding off on the whole thing!!! Everything else is sewn and cut, but I think I will just look at it awhile longer!!! Maybe those pieces will mysteriously reappear! One never knows!!!
