The Progression of Timeless

 Hello Everyone,

I've been totally focused on my Timeless quilt over the past few days.

The little checkboard border is finished.

Then I made the 44 double flying geese which creates a ribbon-like border.  I changed my mind multiple times about which fabric to use for the little border and finally decided on the green and purple flower.  This little strip is only 1/2" and it makes a big impact on the quilt.

I'm going to start making the basket blocks today, so my production level is going to slow down considerably. The fabric is starched and ready to go to make eight of the blue blocks.

This row of baskets will surround the center of the quilt and could take me several days to make, especially since I have some meetings to go to for my Homeowner's Association and other commitments during the next week. I'm on the Board of Directors for my association and I'm co-chairing the Events Committee. We are planning a major event each month for the Homeowner's and it's been taking a bit of my time away from quilting. 

I really love these little baskets, and I think they are going to be Adorable with a capital A!

I can't stress starching your fabric first!  There are a lot of little pieces in this quilt and it's gone together beautifully, round by round!  I'll be posting pictures of my little baskets as I go.

The results of my completely unscientific poll about a kit or BOM were pretty resounding for me to do a BOM.  I may do both......the verdict is still out.

On another note, the blog was loading sooooo slowly.  I cleaned up some of the old code and now it loads much quicker.  Messing around with the blog layout always makes me nervous as I don't want to screw up the entire thing!

Soon,

Lynn
