Just as I planned I quilted 2 more this week. I made this red quilt from half-square triangle units from Dorries estate. The red squares were in a separate bag from her. I added the creamy gold squares. With the triangles already sewn it went together quickly. And since I had a back for it the quilting is done and it's ready for a binding. I quilted it with freehand feathers. So much fun. I was getting tired of the basic meander I had been doing.
Lisa made the string blocks and I did the rest of this one. I'll be doing the binding too. She wants dad to get this one. She certainly enjoyed the narrow strips she cut so many of. I guess I'll be saving them for her after this.
That makes 3 in the binding pile that I'm planning to keep. I think there are a few I'm keeping in the quilting que too so will wait till they are done and then hold a binding marathon.
I've got another of Lisa's loaded tonight. That'll get done for the meeting Tuesday at the Community Center.
I started piecing some scrappy log cabin blocks. A few days ago I sorted the box of 2" strips, light/ dark and short/long. Lisa visited and the box was still out so I started to sew. I've started 36 blocks but that could change cause there is no real plan yet. It's relaxing to sew on auto-pilot. No plans just mindless sewing. I can see getting addicted to it.
