A little over a week ago I showed some pieced strips I found in a drawer in my studio. This photo shows what is left after using some of them.
I also showed 2 possible small tops in progress that the strips could be used on. This was the winner and I got all 4 borders sewn on Wednesday night.
To break down this design: I started with 4 star blocks and then added sashing made of Flying Geese. After that I added Bow Tie blocks as a border and then it stayed in limbo for 4 1/2 years. Now it measures 40" square and I think just a medium-dark binding will complete the quilt (after I quilt it).
I think I'm down to the last 2 blooms of my cacti plants. This orange one makes me so happy.
The medium rose color bloom is so pretty too. The color seems more intense on this plant this year.
I finished knitting a dishcloth last night, using up the ends of two balls of yarn.
A friend came over yesterday so I could help her with a computer problem and we spent hours talking about fabric and quilts. She brought lunch from Subway and it was so good. I hadn't had a Subway sandwich for almost a year.
