A Finish and an Audition

I put the binding on this one today. I just sewed it to the back and zigzaged it down on the front. It's quite small but would do for a couch quilt. I may donate this one as well.


A few people suggested doing this one without sashing so I thought I'd give it a whirl. I think I will go with sashing now that I see it without. Putting it up on the design wall this way did help with the block arrangement. I saw a few that looked out of place when they were touching. Right now I am dyeing some fabric, hopefully dark gray. I haven't washed it out yet so I'm not sure how dark it will be. I also tried a dark blue with stars that looked very nice but unfortunately I only had a very small piece of it.

Commitment

It takes quite a lot of commitment to go to the studio to sew these days. Luckily, it's not fiercely cold as well as knee deep with snow. The temperature is only -9 and the wind has dropped. The storm warning is over so we may be able to get out of the yard tomorrow.


Here's what I worked on once I got to the studio. It's all ready for the batting and backing now. I'll use it to practise with my new Janome open toe foot.
