Show and Tell
So the computer fix wasn't a big deal, but unfortunatly, I've been really sick since Sunday, and today is my first day back up and around. I tried to go back to work yesterday but I only made it through half the day before giving up and coming back home to go to bed. Today, though, was my day. So stop yelling at me people! I have quilts to tell you about now....sheesh!
After I was finally feeling well enough to do more than sip on Vernors and watch more than 15 minutes of tv at a time without falling asleep, I finished up my bright square quilt top.
I had a lot of trouble taking a good picture of it this afternoon in my house. I really, really like how it turned out though! As soon as I have some extra quilting money, I'm going to go ahead and order the Disco Dot fabric for the backing. It's been so much fun for me to do--it was quick and easy to piece, and the bright colors are interesting to work with. I'm glad this one's getting ready to quilt.
After I finished up that top I moved on to the stack of 30's reproduction fabric that's been sitting on my desk for awhile now:
I've been collecting the reproduction prints for awhile now, (that's not my whole pile) and I hadn't been able to come up with a good pattern for them. During my days on the couch though, I decided to go with a bow-tie pattern. I think my first block turned out pretty well too:
And of course, the top of the wedding quilt is finished! Super YAY! I really surprised myself with how fast the top came together afterall. When I started it, I thought that I might have been working on it for years before it all came together. If you're not someone who isn't allowed to see pictures of it, click on the link!
