MAKING A BACKING

 I started making the backing for the Round and Round quilt yesterday.  This morning I made a label and then finished the back.

SEWING SCRAPS

 There are a lot of scraps from the Round and Round project.  And a lot of them are strips.  So I started making Log Cabin type blocks, more round and round.

I've been making blocks for a couple of days now.  The scrap pile is much smaller.  I'm holding some back to use as filler when I put all of the blocks together.

LAST BORDER AUDITION

 After meeting with Maria on Monday, I've decided to use all three of the fabrics for the final borders. I made more triangle pieces and sewed them into the border fabrics.

But, I trashed the loud corner blocks.  I had the idea to replicate the rectanges from the center block.  I made them as far as I could.  But, the only Kona Zucchini fabric I have left is in small pieces.  So, I'm going to think about what to do about that for now.

NOT HAPPY WITH THAT FABRIC

 I am not thrilled with that substitute fabric I made the border with yesterday.  So, using more of the triangles I made, I set them on top of some other fabrics I thought might work.  Now I'm going to let be and think about it for a while before I make a decision.  At one point I was thinking of using some leftover Log Cabin blocks as a border, too.

I made those corner blocks thinking they would tie into some of the other borders.  But, I think they are drawing too much attention.  I probably won't use them.

ANOTHER BORDER

 I wish I had more of the e bond fabric I used in the center of the Feathered Star block, but I don't.  So, I found another of her fabrics that are very similar in color.  So, I made the next border using it instead.

I made one side then auditioned them, first with the triangles pointing in then with them point out.

NEXT ROUND

 I'm trying out different things for the next round.

THIRD ROUND ATTEMPTS

 I started making the next round.  After several hours of sewing, the process was becoming tedious.  So, I put what I had up on the wall to see how they looked.  I decided No.  I don't like it and I'm going to try something else.

RABBIT PILLOW

 I finally got all of the things and tools that I needed to turn my Rabbit needlepoint into a pillow.  

Here it is, it's done.  And I like it!  It will be living on our bed during the day now.
