This is to document my love of and obsession with fabric and quilts! The true, guilty story of buying "just a little bit more", of shopping at thrift stores for the extra large mens shirts to use in your next quilt..and yes..even eyeing up your best friends blouse wondering if she'd notice if you "borrowed" it and just how many 2 inch strips you could get out of it!

Mill Girls
Well, I finished the top for Cafe Sewciety. I just LOVE this quilt!!! It made me go outside my normal limits and I love that! I have never done mitred corners before or fussy cut a fabric for a border. Both were fun and a whole lot easier than I thought!! It's a big quilt, too....98" x 98". If you are interested in this BOM, just contact Judy at the link above. She will be more than happy to help you out!!!
And btw..the center is all pieced. I had a few people ask me if that was a panel, but it's not.
I am really going to try to be good and finish something else up before I start something new. Let's see how long that lasts!!! lol
Today we are having a low key picnic for the holiday, so I doubt any sewing will be going on. That's okay....family, friends, good food and drinks are more than a wonderful substitute!!

That is just DDG - drop dead gorgeous! The middle wouldn't be too much of a problem but all the squares en point. Are they 10" squares? I am in awe. Really like the colors. Reds are my favorites and this is just perfect balance.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI taught myself to miter corners. I've taught both of my guilds, now, too. Easy and fun. Lovely quilt you made.
ReplyDeleteThe setting for the quilt has a complicated look. Well done.
