Top finished



I dyed the fabric for the borders a few weeks ago and forgot all about it and left it in the dye for days. I got the most amazing colors in most of it, I do have a few light spots that aren't as pretty. One of my online groups made the blocks and I pieced it together and will quilt it tomorrow to mail to be delivered.

I so wanted to have this done about a month ago but I had to wait for blocks from 2 people and well lets just say the amount of time I waited I could have been finished long ago. BUt the backing is loaded on the frame and I have enough batting so tomorrow now that it's going to be almost 15* cooler and not humid I think I'm ready to get it out of here. I have almost all the blocks to Ann's mystery done and ready for row 8 of 11 tomorrow. I have to finish the tulips very soon too as the person I'm making it for had her third son in 5 years this afternoon. Poor thing the only female in the house- I thought she needed something girly for herself.

I never made it to Joann's today and p/t kicked my butt and I came home took a pain pill and promptly took a well deserved nap :P

Really nice top, Kim...but then I always say that. Hope that knee is feeling better. It's a slow process but be good and do what the doc tells you to do. :>)

What a great little quilt. I love the smaller blocks mixed in. Just too cute. Fun how that dying turned out, ha?
