| grey front,light fabric is backing |
Betcha can't say that 5 times fast!!! But that is what I am up to. I finally got the binding on my tumbler quilt. I had to do a bit of a search for fabric to no avail. I thought I had more leftovers but can't seem to find them. So plan B....I made two coloured binding. Teal colour for the back and a grey to match the outside borders on the front. I think it is going to look sharp! Loving my wonder clips from my friend Louise!!

| first time using this frame |
Also today, I have been working on the frame. I only have a little bit to go and I can do the first roll. With hand quilters, it is all about the rolling. That means we are getting things done and the quilting is progressing. This is a fun one to hand quilt as there is no boring repetitive pattern. Each block is different and the patchwork blocks I will be quilting however I want! Once I get to the middle panel part, that will be cross hatched.

So I have lots to keep me busy and join in
slow stitching with Kathy today!
The sun is warming things up but the temperature is still cold. -15 degrees Celsius this morning. We are hoping for warm weather this week so the maple sap will start running and we can start making maple syrup....yum yum!!
Your quilt stitches look so fabulous - its going to be beautiful - I should say more beautiful - its a lovely quilt and your quilting is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of a two coloured binding - it should look great on your quilt. And totally know what you mean about 'it's all about the rolling' - the true sign of progress. :)
ReplyDeletePlan B looks great on your scrappy tumbler quilt. It is amazing how things work out. Totally understand about rolling a quilt. This is just a guess, but I am thinking that blue is your favorite color.
