My 2 friends came over to sew yesterday and that was the push I needed to make the decisions about the border on this quilt. I decided a random order of the color sections was the way to go. I was able to get 4 matching corner blocks out of a large print African fabric. This is my favorite of all of the quilts I have made from this group of fabrics. I will try to round up all of the photos and make a collage of my African fabric quilts.
After I finished that top I went back to unpicking loops for the bottom half of the Australian fabric Trip Around the World. Then last night I sewed the center seam on 12 strips and sewed them together, one long seam from top to bottom. This quilt should finish around 62" x 78". I just wanted a large couch size quilt.
I am thinking about teaching this TAW class again locally (Sandwich IL). If you live anywhere near me and are interested, email me here. I have a special rate for anyone who has taken the class before and wants to participate. I am hoping to teach it in November and again in January.
