I have a good friend who casually asked me if I would be willing to make her a quilt. She'd pay me and everything, but she just wanted a quilt that she could use as a picnic blanket, or around the house.
This friend happened to have a birthday coming up (and is also a great gift giver, the kind that you never know what to get them), so I convinced myself that I could make her a quilt in 2 weeks. It happened to be right in the middle of a busy two weeks, and I managed to get the quilt top done (another scrappy trip around the world), and then my energy petered out and I didn't finish it. I ended up getting her something else, and decided I'd save this for a Christmas gift or something.
It's still sitting in my sewing room, it's May and I just haven't had time to baste it. Now it's HOT and HUMID, and I have even less motivation to work on it. Maybe once the kids are out of school (2 more weeks), we will be bored enough.
I do love this pattern, and I am planning to use those horseshoes on the back, I think it'll be a good one.
Such a beautiful blend of fabrics, can't wait to see the full view of it! Basting is usually where I get jammed up no matter what the weather is.
ReplyDeleteI really like this color combo, especially the navy. Ohhh and the horse shoes for the backing is great. Lovely as always. I love your blog and enjoy all that you post. Thanks for sharing!
