This has been a sewing week and I have something to show for it....I have had these blocks forever it seems and now it
will become a quilt for some child....I have been making quilt tops or quilts for Quilts Beyond Borders when I can....All that is left to do on this top is make an outside border...I think a 2 inch one will be in order as to keep the measurement where they would like it to be.....
When I get this one done I am going to have to take everything off my counter put in a box so I can turn my mat around to the back....I have the green wore off and I think that is what is dulling my cutter so quick....I think I can avoid that spot by turning....I like having the grid showing when I cut and my mat doesn't have it on the other side...so I don't want to turn it over to use....I will replace it then use the old one for sporatic cutting when I use the dining table....then it will be fun sorting the mess out of the box and replacing the fq in stacks at the back of the counter...several projects that have been started are there also...
Getting back to the quilt top....I need to find backing to send with the top and there is another top finished also..not sure I showed that one it also need a back....I do have a set of binding ready to send and would like to make another for this top....
This morning I am up early as I have a doc appointment...the last one of this year...I finally got them all to make it so I don't have to go into the city till spring so I hope this one will do the same....so much better as we get a lot of bad weather that I will not drive in anymore....so now I gotta end and get ready to go.....more later....
