sao QUILTY THINGS
Posted By drsao on February 14, 2010
OK – so I have been THINKING about sewing on bindings…….I have the bindings sewn to the quilts – and now the hand work – MY FAVORITE THING TO DO. I hid the STACK of quilts ready to bind in a chair in my closet……this is now my BINDING CHAIR……but OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND is not working. I LOVE TO BIND I LOVE TO BIND I LOVE TO BIND. Ok – so soon I will begin working on this stack; but for now I will be HAPPY that I have them ready!
Quilts Ready to bind
I got the back ready for my Superbowl Stashbuster quilt – the picture is the top of the RIBBON WEAVE QUILT (one of Augusta Cole’s Cutting Bee patterns) made from fabric from the last two Cutting Bees……now I need to make a label……

And the BIGGEST accomplishment is that I finished my Grandmother’s Flower Garden top. I was planning to hand quilt it but now that I have the top made I really don’t love it and therefore I think I am going to have it machine quilted. I can’t see spending 3 years quilting something that I really am not crazy about. I think part of the problem is that I don’t know how to end it – maybe I would be happy with inner and outer borders but I am not sure I want to cut off the hexagon points. I know I don’t want to hand sew them down onto a border…..so I am going to hide this in the closet and do a SCARLETT OHARA THING…I will think about it TOMORROW. For now, it is a closet quilt! ANY IDEAS ANYONE? Right now I plan to cut off the points – square it up and have it machine quilted – but I am going to THINK FOR AWHILE before making any moves that I will regret later.

AND I made my DH, Max, a pillowcase for Valentine’s Day. He really likes it.
