Very little progress.......

I had out of town company yesterday and we went out to lunch in the rain.  Luckily she didn't have to travel in snow to visit me.  I was near the end of a book so I read for a couple hours in the late afternoon.  I didn't get to the basement to work on this until evening.  I sewed the 9 rows on the left together.  You can see they are squares now, 1.5" squares.  This will come out 40" square and my kitchen table is about 42" square.  I will add a border to make it fit like a tablecloth and then put a backing on and probably use Thermore batting.  It is really thin flat polyester batting and can be quilted as far apart as 10".  I will probably quilt closer than that but not put a lot of quilting in it.

This is gorgeous, and as I recall from past posts, you have red accents in your kitchen.

This will be a spectacular table cover! I love Thermore for some things -- very stable and easy to work with.
