The only advantage to wet summer evenings is that it creates a little more space (and the excuse) to sneak off up to the sewing machine and get on with some stitching. And getting on with things is exactly what I need to do as a number of unexpected family visits and plans for later in the summer have suddenly added to my quilting to-do list.
I have pieced together all the blocks from these little jelly roll strips I cut a few days back and now I have a crisp, clean quilt top.
It all came together nice and simply, though admittedly with a few wobbly strips in there (don't look too closely) and I really like it for its simplicity.
Now there's just the small matter of budgeting for wadding and backing and binding (groan) before I can finish it.
Great quilt top. I know exactly what you mean about doing a top and then having to think about the budget to finish it! I'm always more productive in the summer too - odd considering there is so much more going on then!
ReplyDeleteIt is a gorgeous quilt. Simple is quite often better as far as I am concerned. Good luck with the budgeting!
