Some good progress was made tonight on the "Home at Last" quilt. It seems that it will be much smaller than I originally anticipated. I'm going to have to add a border to it. With this quilt top nearing its end, I started thinking about a way to finish it on limited funds. I have a small amount left of my gift certificate from Christmas, but not nearly enough to get the quilt done. I rummaged through a few of my sewing bags and my closet and came up with extra batting I saved from my brother's quilt, and two curtains from the old apartment which were no longer needed. It just so happened that they are a nice chocolate brown and barely used as I bought them only a month before moving. Fabric is fabric curtains or not, and it should be perfect to finish off this quilt. I only have one row left!! I'm so excited!

Home at Last UPDATE
As you can see, my blog received a bit of a make over. I was tinkering with my website, getting it ready to launch with sales of my patterns and projects and I decided the blog just wasn't quite right in orange.

Hello there
ReplyDeleteI found your blog via Quilting Bloggers. Welcome! I notice that you comment that your blog has had a make-over. Just want to say that I find the dark red background very difficult on my eyes. Hope you don't mind this comment, as I am only making it to be helpful.
