Look what I found...........

I was cleaning off my sewing cabinet to prepare for machine quilting a colorwash and I found 12 more blocks that weren't sewn yet.  I already designed 2 quilts from the blocks so now they will go back up on the wall so I can add these in.
There are 12 blocks here and I had 2 leftover from designing so I should be able to add a row to the width and the length of the larger of the 2 quilts.  Check out this post for the 2 designed quilts.
Last night I added a border to the African colorwash.  I like the way it looks like it is mounted on the front of the animal print fabric.  It is now 28" x 34".  The border fabric is a Stonehenge print.  I think the binding will be a very dark brown.

    Oh yes, the animal print on the African colorwash is just perfect. It floats the entire design.

    That is great you found those pieces. Stuff gets misplaced so easily when you have so much going on. The leopard print looks wonderful as a border!

    Great border for the colorwash! Hmm, wish I could find some blocks ready to go. Maybe if I keep cleaning, I will.

    Pink and green extras, as I mentioned the other day, your blog is always fun and full of surprises. (^._,^)

    I can hear the drums and chanting looking at your awesome Afican wall hanging, it has a wonderful feeling of an Afican celebration.

    I also love your African color wash. I'm supposed to be a Scottish, Swedish, Irish mix, but I think there must be some Nairobi in there someplace. This one certain stirs something!
