Kashmir...

I just now finished the quilt top.

And, I am in love with it.

Totally.

I'll have to make one for me.

For sure.

Someday.

This is the quilt I am making

for my coworker's sister, Carole,

who has pancreatic cancer.
Right now, it measures 66 inches square.

(it'll shrink some each way with washing/drying)
 

I am right on schedule.

Though, changing my mind about

the borders almost did me in.

I love these floating squares borders,

but there's a lot more to making them than

just adding widths of fabric for borders.

You know?

I think they add so much more to the quilt, though.

I did the same type of border 

on me Mum's Iced Mocha quilt.

See it here.

Now, all I need to do is sew two
pieces of fabric together to make the backing

and I'll be ready to sandwich/baste/quilt!

I'll have that done by the end of the weekend.

Oops, almost forgot...here's a closeup

of the sashing.  Isn't it pretty?

I need to give this a good pressing

before I do anything else with it.

That's all for tonight, though.

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might. - Ecclesiastes 9:10
