Done, done, done!!! Another one off the machine. I will mail this one and the nine-patch memory quilt off to my mom tomorrow. Now I can get going on the coffee quilt. I need to figure out a backing and check to make sure I have enough batting. I was planning on going to Joann's in Nashville this weekend but we ended up not going.
I think this red and brown quilt turned out cute. Hopefully my mom will like the back as much as I do!
Oh Sarah - I LOVE red and brown together! And this quilt is wonderful! I hope your mom loves it too!
ReplyDeleteSeems to me she should love any backing you do since she didn't have to do it herself. I love the nine-patch and the way some of the patches disappear into the background. Get your mom to work on her blog.
ReplyDeleteI do love any backing Sarah does, although at this point I would love to do one myself! We're building a house and living in a 28 ft. RV. I'm CRAVING being able to quilt! Every once in a while, if I find a few free hours, I drag everything out of storage and indulge in a little binge, but it's a major chore. I was able to do that a few nights ago, thanks to Bonnie... I have all my scraps neatly cut and stored... they make my fingers itch! My new home has a wonderful sewing room with two huge windows that look out onto the Tennessee woods... but before I can enjoy it, I have to paint and trim out the entire house! It's something we've wanted to do for about 35 years, so I guess quilting just has to be on the back burner for an older dream for a while. As for a blog... oh, me, I can't even think about it right now! But you are all very kind and creative and I enjoy reading yours!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, good luck with the house (ooooh, a sewing room!) and I look forward to seeing you back in quilting action once again.
