Friday, and the month already more than half gone - how time does fly! But Friday means that it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on, so I hope you're ready. Let's get started!
*&*&*&*&*&*&*
A long while back, a friend at church brought me three vintage quilt tops and asked me if I could quilt them for her. Two were fairly simple jobs, but the third was more challenging...
There were some areas in the sashing that had serious staining - you can see one at the bottom left and there was another one on the top right. The fabric was feed sacking and I didn't have anything remotely similar to replace it with. But looking at the layout of the quilt, you can see that the three strips of blocks are each three blocks plus a half block. I decided to take the top apart and cut it down in size, eliminating the half blocks and laying it out in a three by three grid. By doing that, I was able to use one of the clean eliminated sashing to replace the stained one, and the other was completely cut off in the remake.
Leanne, also known as @devotedquilter on Instagram, is hosting a 100 day WIP (works in progress) finishing challenge! I have lots of projects that need finishing, and this will give me just the little extra encouragement I need to really plow through them. The challenge starts on 9/23, so there's still time to join in the fun. Won't you join me? It would be a great way to finish up some Christmas gifts, you know? And as an added incentive, there are prizes!
