Two day without internet, and I have felt so lost! But, it's sorted out, was an easy fix, so onwards and upwards, right? I've done very little sewing since last Wednesday, but I do have a finished quilt top to share.
I finally added borders to the postage stamp patchwork this week. After much deliberation, I went with regular old cream for the borders and I'm so happy with it, and once finished it will have a solid green binding, similar to Kona Grass.
And since we all like wind shots, this is what was REALLY happening when I was trying to take these photos:
In progress:
- Fast Forward quilt top - needs to be basted, quilted & bound
- Sweetwater Pure quilt top - ditto to above
- Reunion pillow covers - waiting for backing fabric to arrive in the mail
- put something together for Giveaway Day @ Sew Mama Sew - May 21st
- start thinking about Blogger's Quilt Festival entry

I LOVE the offset border. The cream is perfect. It'll be gorgeous with the green binding. My favorite shot is the windy one with the sun shining through it.

I love the borders on that postage stamp quilt, it's a great overall effect!!
So pretty! I love, love, love the borders!
I liked your potty training advice, too. I did it the same way with my girls...I just stopped buying diapers and told them we ran out. They didn't have a choice. It worked like a charm.
That windy shot is awesome! Love it.
Your borders on this quilt are inspired! A beautiful quilt.
The large border is PERFECT!!! It is so fabulous!!!
I haven't check blogs in awhile and look at all you've completed! I love the postage stamp quilt. What a fun way to use up scraps. I especially love the last picture you took!
