Look what I finished today!
Oh my gosh! Isn't it adorable?!
I used an orphan quilt square for the backing.
I also put a ribbon loop on top so I can hang it where ever I want.

What else did I do today?
I cut up some fabric for a quilt.
This will be a year-long project. I'm signed up for the fat quarter solids club through Fat quarter shop, and I'm going to make a block a month.
I had a hard time understanding the cutting instructions at first. It's been ages since I cut pieces for a quilt.
I stared at it a few minutes and then it clicked. A ha!
I cut up the fabric I picked up for the background, sashing, border, etc.
And discovered I'm short on fabric. I don't know if told the person the wrong amount to cut, or if I got shorted. The person didn't seem to know what they were doing, so ... Yeah ... So I'll have to get a bit more fabric for the borders.
That is so cute! Sometimes I think about taking up quilting, but I've got so much going on already. I wish we still lived in the days when we had good old fashioned quilting bees. I'll bet they were so much fun!
ReplyDeleteA quilting bee would be fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy with how the pillow turned out. I've got it on my window sill right now. It's adorable. :-)
