I have been somewhat lax in my blogging lately. With my math homework driving me crazy (who comes up with some of the problems to solve- 12 steps to come up with the answer being 7?!!!), and work, I have been feeling somewhat stressed. But, I have been doing some paper piecing to make a quilt for one of my managers at work. She and I have worked together for about 5-6 years now, and she is retiring in December. So, of course, I have to make a quilt. I decided to make some simple, yet colorful blocks, 48 total, then put together in a design. Here is the pieced block:
Untrimmed block, pieced on a paper backgroung.
Here are the 4 rows laid out. I will try to put them together tomorrow, or maybe tonight after I get off work. I am thinking a solid color inner border, maybe a 1-2 inch width. Then, a wider outer border maybe 5 or 6 inches. I do know though, that I will be quilting feathers in the light blue star points.
I love to quilt feathers.
Well, I hope everyone has a great Friday. I have to head off to work in a few minutes. Oy, the things I do to earn money for fabric! :)
Happy quilting,
Marianne
