| More Quarter Circles Progress |
Two more rows to put on this quilt and then I'll have to make border decisions. I decided to go with a very narrow (lighter) creamy white sashing that extends the red & white sashing throughout the quilt. Love that. So far this quilt is shaping up to be just exactly what I wanted and oddly, very different from what I expected, all at the same time. I know. It doesn't make sense, but I do so like it when the end is in sight and I'm not having major regrets.
On a different note, I'm taking a blogcation for a week or two. I'll be hanging out with my sister in Portland for a least part of that time. Hopefully I'll be able to get on the computer once in awhile and get my quilt blogging fix! Glad to have my hand piecing bag all set and ready to go for those times in life where I have to leave my sewing machine behind. lol I knew those bow-ties were gonna come in handy.
Oh.. Portland! I hope you know there are tons of wonderful places to eat there, and do visit the Pittock Mansion (http://pittockmansion.org/) if you haven't already. Last time I was there my girlfriends and I went to an outdoor Jethro Tull concert. We were cracking up at "the sea of gray hair" ! LOL!! Have a great time Audrey, and "see" you when you get back.
ReplyDeleteps loving that circle quilt!
Have a great time in Portland with your sister... and your hand sewing projects! The Quarter Circle quilt is really special!
ReplyDeleteLove this! You make such quick progress on so many different projects! Have fun with your sister. Hope you find some time to stitch.
ReplyDeleteIf you take a side trip to Salem, the state fair is going on. Heading there on Wednesday just to see the quilts. Enjoy your blogcation.
ReplyDeleteI really like this quilt! It keeps getting better and better! Have a safe trip and enjoy the handwork along the way!
ReplyDeleteOoh, that skinny white sashing is the perfect thing for this--one of my all-time favorite--quilts! Have fun in Portland.
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is coming along very nicely - love it. Have a fun time in Portland with your sister.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break and catching up with your sister. Love how the light is shining thru your quilt top....it's looking good!
ReplyDeleteYour circles are very interesting. They would not be as interesting without the stripe sashings through each block. That gives each block such life. A very good idea.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time with your sister. I wish my sister would come to visit.
have a great vacation - soon that will be me too hoping for a blog fix now and then. Hand work always comes in handy when you travel! Love the quilt you are currently working on.
ReplyDeleteLove it! The little red squares in the corners are perfect too. Enjoy your holiday!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous blogacation Audrey and enjoy time spent with family. Hand sewing is a real life saver when you're away from your machine.
ReplyDeleteThe thin sashing is a brillant addition to this gorgeous quilt!! It's looking amazing! Have a fun holiday with your sister. I bet you get a zillion bowties made!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt. Enjoy your vacation...sounds like a good time in Portland.
ReplyDeleteI've had a few blog breaks this summer and plan to catchup this fall!
