I still don't have sashing that I like for my tulips. I have taken them into two other quilt stores and was convinced that I had found something good, only to find when I got home that it wasn't right. Oh well! I did finish my project for guild.
It is a mug carrier, to take my mug to guild! I am pleased with the way it turned out. I can't decide if I want to shorten the laces or not. I just tied the ends together in a single knot until I decide. Then I will trim them or not, but will finish the ends so they won't fray.
Until I find some sashing for my tulips, I started sewing the sashing on my block of the month blocks from last year. This sashing I like!
Do you remember these? It has been a while. They are just Thangles Buck a Block Series #8. I am pleased with the way the corner stones make a pattern with the corner triangles. The brown is just some leftovers I had from a wide backing that I used a few years ago. In case you really have forgotten here are the two borders I am going to use.
I did make six extra blocks from the leftovers from the rest of the blocks. I also did the border around each square wider, as is the sashing. The borders are going to be wider as well, turning a 67" x 93" quilt into a queen size.
Have a good week and I hope we all get some time to sew!
