Hello Everyone,
Yesterday my goal was to get sets of four baskets sewn together with their little dot of red in the middle. Twelve down, four more to go. I have machine quilting plans around the little red dot. Let's see if I can pull it off to make it look like a button in an old mattress. Remember those?
I started with a pile of blocks and whittled it down to almost nothing. I did have some rejects that absolutely will not work in the mix no matter how hard I try. Maybe I'll stitch them together and they can go on the back of the quilt.
I took a picture of one of our Dogwoods trees. I'll take another picture of the same tree tomorrow to compare the difference a day can make. We still have quite a few leaves on the trees, and the snow we are supposed to receive today and through the night, is going to be hard on them.
I hope you all have a cozy day quilting.
Soon,
Lynn

ReplyDeleteI had forgotten about mattress buttons. I am glad they aren't on modern day mattresses.
ReplyDeleteThe setting you are doing for the blocks is very interesting. I like!
Yep, I remember those mattresses. That will look cool with this. Definitely use those rebel blocks on the back. :D
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying watching your progress. stay warm and hopefully you won't lose power. Enjoy the snow.
