Off to a Good Start

If you went to Candace's blog you found several bag tutorials......... I liked everyone of them.

How good it is to have such creative friends................

When I complained about my quilts being too strong Candace also recommended that I put a neutral color in them to give the eye a place to rest. That seems to be an excellent recommendation. If I had chosen the lighter yellow instead of the darker one, perhaps this quilt would look more pleasing to the eye. However, IT WILL BE WARM.............. Hasn't that been my mantra lately.


So we can add this finished top to my "Top a Month" list............. I got all the rows put together and then measured for the borders........... I am always interested to know just how far off I am when the quilt gives the finished length of the borders as well as the width. Even with all those little blocks to sew together, I was right on target with the correct size. This means that the Duchess must have the correct seam allowance set for stitching...........VBG





Here is my week two block from Amanda at Crazy Mom Quilts....


Kira at Sew, Craft, Create had the idea of doing two of them........... And weren't the bags of green fabric that Peg gave me just begging to be used............... Okay so I am doing two of them . I got the green block cut out and partially put together this morning also but not finished so no picture................. I will also need to make the green block for week one. These are going to be wonderful quilts........... Now I wonder if I should dig through my Grab Bag fabric for the third one..... HMMMMM...............
