I had a very good sewing day yesterday. I never imagined I would get so much done. I finished sewing the last 5 arcs in the blocks and then sewed the top together. This type of quilt is not for the faint of heart. Most of the blocks are bias on all 4 edges. A few had the large corner of a print cut on grain and that helped stabilize it some. The edges are all ripply right now so I still have some work to do. I know I have enough of the large floral fabric for a border........somewhere.
Here is a good look at a lot of the fabrics in it.
In the early part of the day I worked on another project. This top was made on another day and it was ready to quilt so I did that and finished the edge with the serger. I need to steam it to get the edge to calm down.
Then I pieced 3 more tops. I had enough backing for 2 so these are ready to quilt.
I still have to find a piece of flannel for the back of this one. They are all in the 18" - 22" size range.
I have to work at the store again today for 5 hours. The snow isn't supposed to start until evening so my car can be home in the garage by then. I wouldn't mind a little rain on it though, a free car wash.
