IT WAS ENOUGH!

Yes, there was enough binding, in fact, there was about 2-1/2 feet left!

It's on and ironed over and ready to be sewn down on the back.

QUILTING DONE, BINDING MADE



I'm still not sure if I'll have enough of this black and purple fabric that I'm using for the binding, but it's been cut out and ready to go.  If there isn't enough, I don't know what I'll do.  There is not enough of any of the other fabrics, this was the biggest piece of the leftovers.

If you want to see more about how I make bias binding, go here.

DRAGONFRUIT SKETCH

We went to Seattle's Chinatown for lunch today with his granddaughter Hailey.  Afterwards, we meandered around looking in the windows and checking out some of the shops.  We ended up in Uwajimaya perusing the seafood and the produce.  I spotted this Dragonfruit, the sign said it was very healthy, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.  It was $9.99 per pound and heavy.  We bought it anyway.  It ended up costing $12.79.  It better be good.

JACQUI #31


I don't know why, but I only made one of the pattern.  Hence, only one block.

PIECED BACK

She brought me a panel that matches the main fabric used on the quilt top to use for the back.

It was going the wrong direction and it wasn't big enough, so I had to cut it apart, add some stuff and sew it back together.

I made a label and pieced it in, too.

Took me most of today.  (After I took the dogs for their walk of course).

SETTING DECIDED

Wow, I've gone round and round about how to set the blocks.  I used Electric Quilt to try out several options, but then just resorted to putting them up on the wall.

I settled on this:


I had to make a few more blocks and the cornerstones of the black and white.

MARJORIE BLOCKS


Marjorie blocks, one with an alternate border.

I finally made a pile of the small kite shapes for the alternate border.  So, I should do a few more of them.

HERE WE GO!

Over the weekend I got all of the smaller half-square-triangle squares sewn together and ironed.





I took them to work with me and got them all trimmed down.







Aren't the colors just beautiful!
