Lynnie, I've redone the border 5 times trying the inside angles video, and simply gave up.

JNCT14 - It's already quilted so I couldn't use the birthing method, or I would have done that one!!!!

I was trying to do something different LOL

Hi swap buds. I have been busy on my quilt and a few other things too.

I finished through Z.

Who knows what this little wooden thing is? Picked it up at a 2nd hand shop. Looked cool to me. Somebody must have seen one of these before. I love it.

Ube, what a great find!!!!! I love finding old stuff like that and fixing it up!

That block is gorgeous ... it took me a second to figure out why it was for "me"!!!!

I knew you were the right person for those teensy blocks!

I forgot to add this picture of where I got the alphabet for my quilt. I paid way too much for it at JAFs. I just couldn't wait for the right price 'cause it might have been gone. The motifs in this book are so charming.

Sweeeeeet!

dressed. I made the mattress, pillow and case and quilted the little quilt which I had for a long time, waiting for the right place to live.

It is a folding wine rack LOL ... But I think Ube has other ideas!

I've never done that ... have I been binding my quilts wrong all these years?

When I bind my quilts with mitered corners, I always sew the binding, raw edge, on the back of the quilt then turn it over and quilt it on the top ... am I weird? wrong??


You are not weird. If I am machine sewing my binding on I sew the raw end on the back and then top stitch, or decorative stitch, on the front. If I am hand sewing my binding I sew the raw end on the front and then hand sew the binding to the back.

JNCT14, I really like where you are going with your WH. I love lighthouses. At least here in MN we have a couple of them to visit.

Ube, the alphabet squirrel is just too cute.

Think I found my pattern, but am still giving it a little more thought before I actually begin.

I know what I'm making, just haven't started yet. Spring is a busy time for me outside getting the garden started, and we are making enclosures for the rabbits and chickens, redoing our set up w/ those.
