Sometimes after I sew, I put my quilt down and just stare at it for a while. The scraps I saved for 9 years were perfect for the right time. The quilt inspiration was actually online all those years ago. However, I found it at the time that was right for this project.
When I made the summer quilt all those years ago, I made WAY too much binding. But I kept it in a pile of binding that I have from old projects. And it was perfect!!! Like literally, I planned the border widths so that the binding was the perfect length.
There were only inches left over. Dang, I wish that I had made the border one inch wider so it would have been just perfect. Haha!!
But..it turned out so fun!!!
I am so glad that I had these few weeks of down time from work before Feb starts and the projects and performances I am involved in kick my butt. It is satisfying to finish projects, get a chance to post about old projects that I have finished and having a chance to really relax. I still have..what 15 scheduled posts and about 13 more of unfinished projects to post. OH, and 3 more mini-quilts I finished tops for yesterday. So hopefully I get time to sew before Feb ends and can enjoy posting more.
Hope you enjoyed!!
