In the Nick of Time...

Got it done!

woohoo!

It's after midnight (Friday night) 
and this quilt is all washed & dried...

ready to go.

It's for my sister, Joyce, to give her grandson.

Tomorrow. 

The fabric is 'diggers & dozers' with Kona cotton solids.

I quilted it with YLI variegated thread
in the color 'primary'

in not-so-straight lines

which are unevenly spaced.

Intentionally.

 Measures 50x52 inches.

Must get to bed.

Looking forward to a great family day tomorrow!

Goodnight.

Last Night...

I think this is the best Friday Night Sew-in I have had!  I actually accomplished a lot!  (Helped that the one show I wanted to watch on tv was not on!)  Here is the 'diggers & dozers' quilt top that I finished piecing.  It still needs borders...measures about 50x52" right now.

Also.  I got these borders put together last night, though I didn't sew them on until this morning. 

The tiny border (1/4") is a pale blue with pink rosebuds.  (Thanks, Janer!)  Which, by the way, is what I am using for the backing fabric.  So, I thought I would add a special touch to the front with it.  Only so much pink one can handle.  Not sure if you can tell, but the inside edge is not sewn down.  I took 1" strips of fabric, sewed them together (end to end), folded/ironed in half, then sewed to the outside edges of the quilt top all the way around.  Like one would do a regular border.  Then, I sewed  the wider pink border on top of it.  Just gives it a little something...and breaks up all that pink!  I like it.  

Hope you're having a great Saturday!
