Well, I thought I was coming down with my boyfriend's cold, so I stayed home from work yesterday. I soaked in a steaming tub and got dressed and actually felt ok. SEW DAY!!! I had the best sew day I have had in a while.
I am trying to catch up on a guild project, a "Grow Your Own" round robin. Instead of working on other people's quilts, you work on your own quilt. I chose to use the big pile of 1930s repro fabrics I had in my stash. Each month you are given a different border assignment. I finished the star blocks for border #2:
And assembled the star border:
Border #3 was easy. It was supposed to be rectangles on 2 sides:
And I even had enough time to start Border #4 (the current border). I had enough pre-made stem in my box to make a vine around the entire quilt. I basted in and will applique' flowers and leaves. I kinda free-form pinned the vine, so I hope it doesn't look sloppy. I am hoping the applique will hide my crooked vine.
I think I really needed a good sew day! I feel so much better today!
